African expansion and what it could mean for your business!

Introduction

The future of business is Africa!

African expansion

You may not realize it, but Africa is experiencing a major expansion. It’s the second fastest growing region in the world and its population of 1.2 billion people can’t be ignored.

In fact, Africa has been undergoing significant economic growth since 2000, driven by rising productivity and trade in services. This growth has been attributed to rapid urbanization as well as increased investment in infrastructures such as roads, railways, and telecommunication networks. For example:

• The World Bank estimates that between 1990 and 2010, Africa witnessed an average annual GDP growth rate of 4%. In comparison to other regions such as Asia Pacific (3%) or Latin America (2%), this is quite impressive!
• Fourteen out of 54 countries in sub-Saharan Africa have grown at average rates exceeding 5% annually since 2000 – including Ghana which saw double-digit growth for six consecutive years from 2005 until 2010!

Kenyan Subsidiary

If you are looking to set up a subsidiary in Africa, Kenya is an excellent choice. It has a strong economy, is a member of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and is also a member of the East African Community (EAC). Additionally, Kenya’s economy is growing at an annual rate of 6 percent.

If you’re still not convinced that Kenya could be good for your business—here are some more reasons why it might be:

• Access to funding from multinational banks such as ECOBank & Standard Chartered Bank
• Availability of skilled labor force as well as access to low-cost labor

Kenyan Domestic Company

Kenyan Domestic Company is a company that is incorporated in Kenya. The company must have a minimum paid-up capital of KShs. 100,000 and an authorized share capital not exceeding KShs 1 billion, with the exception of banks or financial institutions where the limit is set at KShs 20 billion.

The following are some of the products and services offered by Kenyan Domestic Company:

• Trading;
• Manufacturing;
• Banking;
• Insurance;
• Real estate activities;
• Professional services (e.g., consultancy); and

African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) was created in 2017 to promote trade between African countries.

The free trade area allows goods to be traded within the continent without tariffs, which means that businesses will be able to sell their products more cheaply and efficiently. This is a huge benefit for entrepreneurs who have been looking for a way to expand their business into new markets.

AfCFTA also works as an umbrella organization for other agreements like the East African Community Customs Union and COMESA, providing support and leadership for all these groups as they work together toward common goals.

Kenyan Land Ownership

Kenya has a long history of land ownership, starting with the Maasai tribe’s use of the land as their own. It was only after World War II that Kenya began to develop its current system of land ownership and registration. The system that was developed is considered one of the most sophisticated in Africa, due to its robust records and registration processes. Kenyan landownership is also expanding rapidly across multiple sectors including agriculture, tourism, and business development.

Kenyan Qualified Investor Certificate

The Kenyan Qualified Investor Certificate is a government-issued certificate that allows you to invest in certain businesses. To qualify for it, you have to meet certain criteria:

• You must have at least $100,000 USD in savings or investments.
• You must be older than 18 years old.
• You cannot be a citizen of Kenya or an immediate family member of a Kenyan citizen. (There is a different Certificate for them)

Once you’ve obtained your certificate, there are many ways to use it! You could:

• Invest in real estate properties in Kenya through various companies; this is one of the most popular ways that investors use these certificates.
• Purchase shares from publicly listed companies on the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE), which is an important source of capital for businesses looking for external funding; some listed companies will accept foreign equity as part of their investment plans if they think that would be beneficial for them moving forward and want more growth opportunities outside Kenya’s borders.”

Kenyan Corporate Construction

Kenya is a good place to invest in construction, and it will only get better with time. Kenya has an excellent labor force that can build your business warehouse or factory for pennies on the dollar.

Kenya’s market is also very strong, so if you want to sell products in Kenya and other African countries then now’s the time to do it!

Kenyan – United States Free Trade Agreement (KEN-US FTA)

The Kenyan-United States Free Trade Agreement was signed on June 15, 2017. The agreement will remove trade barriers between the two countries and make it easier for KEN and US firms to do business together.

Both sides will benefit from increased opportunities for the export of goods and services. In addition, an estimated 1 million jobs are expected to be created over the next ten years due to growth in trade in goods and services between Kenya and the United States of America.
