Yes, a verbal business agreement can be enforced in Kenya — but it's not easy. Immani lets you file a dispute against your partner's phone number for KSh 100, and get a response within days, not months.
Why Verbal Agreements
are Risky in Kenya Verbal agreements are common in Kenya, especially in informal business settings. However, they can be difficult to enforce because there's no written contract to prove the terms of the agreement. This can lead to disputes and misunderstandings, which can be costly and time-consuming to resolve.
