Business owners were urged to link their businesses with the eCitizen platform to keep up with the digital era after the government abolished manual registration in 2017.
The Business Registration Service (BRS), on Friday, October 28, noted that the free service will link the manual company records online.
eCitizen brings Kenyans closer to government services in the comfort of their home, from registering a business to getting police clearance forms and applying for passports.
Business owners who don’t have an account should click the signup button to register. The system will then send you an email verification.
Click on the link shared, verify your account, and then proceed to link your business on the site.
