Check whether a business or company name is already taken at BRELA, before you file. English and Swahili.
- Checks your name against both the company and business-name registers at once.
- Strong ranking algorithm, scoring every match 0 to 100 by how likely it is to block you.
- Catches names that only sound alike, not just ones spelled alike.
- Filters results by region, district, register, status, legal form and year.
- Flags naming rules, with the law behind each one.
- Gives every search a shareable link that reopens exactly as you left it.
Naming flags citing Cap. 213 s. 9 come from the Act. Everything else is our own reading, including the company rules, which were not checked against the statute text.
The public register only covers records held in BRELA's Online Registration System, so older registrations may not appear at all. Nothing here is a legal determination, and checking a name does not reserve it. The Registrar decides.
It does not replace BRELA's official search. JinaCheck applies helpful functions to public data.
