Statutory Declaration for Business Research Kenya

Navigating Legal Requirements for Your Business Research in Kenya?

Understanding the necessity of a Statutory Declaration for Business Research in Kenya is crucial for many enterprises. This formal legal document is often required to attest to the truthfulness of statements made, particularly when engaging in market analysis, feasibility studies, or investment proposals within Kenya. Ensuring this declaration is correctly prepared and executed can prevent future legal complications and build credibility with stakeholders. At Getso Consultants, we understand the intricate legal and construction landscape of Kenya.

What is a Statutory Declaration in the Kenyan Context?

In Kenya, a Statutory Declaration is a written statement of fact that the person making it (the declarant) solemnly and sincerely declares to be true. It is made under the provisions of the Oaths and Statutory Declarations Act. Unlike an affidavit, it does not require the declarant to have personal knowledge of all the facts stated; it can be based on information and belief, provided the source is disclosed. For business research purposes in Kenya, this could involve declaring the accuracy of market data, the legitimacy of a proposed project, or the financial standing of a company. It is typically sworn or affirmed before an advocate of the High Court, a magistrate, or a commissioner for oaths.

The cost associated with obtaining a Statutory Declaration in Kenya can vary. Professional fees for legal assistance in drafting and attesting the document typically range from KES 5,000 to KES 15,000, depending on the complexity and the legal practitioner involved.
