Legal Foundations for Corporate Debt Repossession in Kenya

Understanding the legal framework is paramount for any corporate debt repossession initiative in Kenya. The Movables Property Security Rights Act, 2017 (MPSR Act) is central, providing a unified legal framework for security interests in movable property, enabling secured creditors to repossess collateral upon default. This Act, alongside the Insolvency Act, 2015, outlines the rights and procedures for creditors when a corporate debtor defaults. Key considerations include the type of security held (e.g., a charge, pledge, or hypothec), the registration of security interests (often through the MPSR Registry), and the notification requirements for the debtor. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd ensures all repossession actions are compliant with these statutes, including proper identification of collateral, adherence to prescribed notice periods, and employing methods that respect the debtor's rights while effectively recovering the secured property. Our legal team is adept at navigating these complexities, ensuring a secure and lawful process.

The cost structure for corporate debt repossession services is designed to be transparent and value-driven. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd typically operates on a combination of a retainer fee, plus a success-based commission upon successful recovery of the debt or collateral. Costs may also include expenses for skip tracing, asset location, transportation, storage, and any necessary legal filings. For example, a standard repossession might involve an initial fee of KES 15,000 - 30,000, with a commission ranging from 10% to 25% of the recovered debt or the asset's recovered value. We aim to recover these costs from the debtor where legally permissible or offset them through the value of the repossessed assets.
