Sole Proprietorship & Business Name

A sole proprietorship or registered business name is the simplest entry point for individual traders and freelancers in Kenya. Even at this level, VAT-registered sole proprietors must transmit tax invoices through eTIMS.

01
Obstacle

It is tempting to assume that a small sole trader has no real invoicing obligations — but eTIMS applies once VAT-registered.

Solution

Simple eTIMS invoice generation tailored to sole traders, without the complexity of a full corporate setup.

02
Obstacle

Tracking the KES 5 million VAT registration threshold manually is error-prone.

Solution

Automatic turnover tracking with an alert when approaching the VAT registration threshold.

Small business, fully compliant

eTIMS invoicing and threshold monitoring without complexity.
