Why Your SME Needs a Professional Process Server

For an SME, every shilling and every minute counts. Attempting to serve legal documents yourself or using an untrained individual to save money is a false economy that can lead to disastrous consequences. If service is done incorrectly, a court can dismiss your case on a technicality, forcing you to start over and incur more costs. A professional SME process server mitigates this risk entirely. We ensure that service is performed in strict accordance with legal requirements, whether you're dealing with a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or a limited company.

Furthermore, the establishment of the Small Claims Court in Kenya (governed by the Small Claims Court Act) has made justice more accessible for claims up to KES 1 million. However, even in this simplified forum, the rule of proper service remains. You must provide the court with proof that the other party received the 'Notice to Appear'. Our process servers provide this proof through a formal Affidavit of Service, a document that validates your claim's progression. By investing in a professional server, you are safeguarding your legal standing and ensuring the resources you've spent on your claim are not wasted on a procedural error.

We make the process transparent and easy to understand.

Frequently Asked Questions

As an SME owner, can I serve court documents myself to save money?
While technically you can in some cases, it's highly discouraged. You may not know the strict legal rules of service, and you cannot swear an Affidavit of Service for your own case, as you are an interested party. If you serve improperly, the case can be thrown out. Using a professional, neutral process server is a small investment to protect your entire claim and save money in the long run.
What documents do I need to give a process server?
You will need to provide two copies of the document to be served (e.g., the summons or notice)—one to be served on the respondent and one for the server to annex to the Affidavit of Service (the 'server's copy'). You also need to provide the respondent's full name, and their best known physical address and contact details.
My business and the person I'm serving are in a shared office in Westlands; how do you handle service there?
This is a common scenario we handle with professionalism. Our servers are trained to navigate shared office spaces and co-working environments discreetly. We would approach the reception, identify the specific business or individual, and effect service professionally without causing disruption to other tenants. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd ensures the process is smooth and confidential, regardless of the office setup.
