One of the main benefits of establishing a partnership in Kenya is that it is a gateway to serve regional markets as exporters enjoy access with low or no tariffs to more than 20 countries and 450 million people for the country's membership of the trade blocs that are included in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa.

It should also be mentioned that, unlike other localities on the continent, Kenya has road, airport, rail and port networks, which includes the port of Mombasa, a new deep-water port in Lamu that is under construction and a new dry port located in Naivasha.

In Kenya there are seven Export Processing Zones, these zones are ideal for foreign investors who want to orient their companies towards the export industry, especially manufacturers. 

Free zone companies in Kenya can enjoy many advantages such as being legally exempt from corporate income tax and withholding taxes for up to 10 years. Have indefinite exemption from VAT, customs duties on imports and stamp duties.

The licenses for this type of companies are usually fast, they are usually approved in a period of one month and you only need one to operate. The good structure within these areas compared to outside them should also be highlighted. They have modern prefabricated factories, good security and land. 

The purchasing power of Kenyans is on the rise, the biggest growing sector of this jurisdiction is telecommunications.

Ranked number three in Africa with respect to network quality.
