    Data coverage

    What data is available on retail companies in Kenya

    Kenya business database

    Firmographics

    Legal name, registered address, NACE sub-sector, legal form, founding year and website. Every record is keyed to its Company Number — the stable Business Registration Service identifier that survives name changes and rebrands, making it the most reliable CRM deduplication key for Kenya data.

    Points of interest

    Each company is geocoded to GPS coordinates covering its registered seat and operating locations across Kenya, with a precision level on every point — useful for territory planning and proximity targeting.

    Tax IDs

    Records carry the Company Number and, where applicable, the VAT registration number, with a flag for when the two coincide. These are the cleanest match keys for enriching lists and cross-referencing against the national tax authority and your CRM.

    Group structure

    InfobelPRO resolves the corporate hierarchy — parent, subsidiaries and the size of the worldwide corporate family — so sales and compliance teams can see who controls an entity before engaging or onboarding it.

    Financials

    Annual revenue in local currency, EUR and USD, employee headcount and founding year, with multi-year history where filed. Figures are sourced from Business Registration Service filings and carry an Actual-or-Modeled reliability flag.
