Vision & mission

Elevating the standards of corporate governance in East Africa.

At OCL Business Associates, we aspire to become Africa’s premier corporate services firm, elevating the standards of corporate governance everywhere we operate.

We are active in all East African markets, with a particular focus on emerging East Africa, where it is difficult to find corporate services firms offering the same high standards and responsiveness as it is in the more mainstream locations such as Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

The OCL difference

Built from the bottom up.

We are unique in the field of corporate services in East Africa in that OCL Business Associates is partner-owned and its partners are the largest shareholders in the company. What does it mean to you and your business?
