About Kenya

Kenya is the largest economy in East Africa and the regional hub for finance, technology, and aviation. Nairobi hosts the UN's only African headquarters, the Nairobi Securities Exchange, and the African operations of most multinationals working in the region. Beyond the capital, Mombasa is the busiest port on Africa's east coast, Kisumu commands lake-side trade, and a fast-urbanising belt of secondary cities such as Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika and Machakos anchors economic activity in every county.

EABD covers all 47 counties of Kenya. You can browse businesses by county, by major city, or by industry-specific landing pages that combine geography and sector. Verified Kenyan businesses on EABD cross-reference KRA PIN, business registration (eCitizen / BRS), and where applicable sector-specific licensing (CBK for banking, IRA for insurance, NCA for construction). The result is a directory that buyers, partners, and the diaspora can actually rely on.
