Hello,
I have done everything else the minutes, by-laws, names of the members and all the required things. How much will you charge for registering for me?
Are CBOs registered under the department of Gender and Social Services required to have a KRA pin? If yes, should they pay taxes?

I wish to understand if there is a specific registration process for social enterprises. I want to register an outfit that will engage in social change but is not a non-profit making. Something like a hybrid of a non-profit and profit making institution. I have been reading on social enterprise and this fits the bill but I cannot get information on how to register for such.
I would like to register a CBO, how can I get assistance?
Hi Antony,
Is there a format that is required for sending the report.
Could you kindly share the form required to file the report once you have registered.
Moses
Can a CBO convert to an NGO? If yes, what are the requirements?
Hi, thanks for the clear information. How do you categorize small CBOs from big ones, is there any standard? Is the registration process the same? Which office has the mandate for bigger one? We are far from the center, Nairobi, do you give consultancy service and help us registered? How much is the cost?
Thanks,
Gera
