Your Guide to Fast & Easy Business Registration in Uganda
Welcome! If you’re an entrepreneur anywhere in Uganda—from Kampala to Mbarara—asking “How do I register my business?”, you’ve found the perfect guide. At Kartel Tech, we simplify business registration in Uganda so your idea becomes a legally recognized reality—without the government-office hassle.
Why Legally Registering Your Business is Your First Step to Success
Registration isn’t just paperwork—it’s the legal foundation that unlocks funding, credibility, protection, and compliance for your Ugandan business.
Unlock Funding & Opportunities
Banks, investors, and grants require legal status. Registering opens doors to loans and investment that fuel growth.
Gain Instant Credibility
A registered business looks professional and trustworthy—boosting confidence with customers and partners.
Protect Your Personal Assets
Registering—especially as an company —creates a shield between business liabilities and your personal belongings.
Comply with the Law
Stay aligned with URSB requirements and avoid fines or legal issues as you scale across Uganda.
The Registration Process, Simplified by Kartel Tech
Navigating URSB can feel complex. We handle each step—from name search to certificate delivery—so you can focus on launching.
Choose the Appropriate Name
We help you decide whether to register a Business Name (sole proprietor), a Partnership, a Private Company Limited by Shares (Ltd), or a Company Limited by Guarantee (for non-profits). This aligns with Uganda’s Companies Act and URSB practice.
URSB Name Search & Reservation (OBRS)
We conduct a name search and reserve your name for 30 days through the URSB Online Business Registration System (OBRS). You’ll provide 2–3 alternatives in case the first is taken.
Prepare Required Documents
We compile the correct forms and attachments—e.g., Memorandum & Articles of Association for companies, directors’/owners’ IDs, registered office details, and share capital info for Ltd companies—per URSB requirements.
Application Submission & PRN Payment
We file your application online and manage fees via a Payment Registration Number (PRN). If a PRN is needed, we generate it and complete payment correctly so your file moves without delays.
Approval & Certificates Issued
URSB reviews the file. Once approved, you receive the official Certificate of Registration (Business Name) or Certificate of Incorporation (company). If clarifications are requested, we handle corrections and resubmission.
