Uganda is divided into FOUR regions – Central, Western, Eastern and Northern region. The central part is the heartbeat of the country where almost all essential services, goods and people are found.

So if you do not want to face a lot of competition, here are sone places you could eye to invest in but factor in mind that there are a lot of other topics that you should have in mind before undertaking a business investment.
Hoima District
This is a virgin area that is slowly and steadily rising in the business areas of Uganda. Hoima is located in the western part of the country and is in Bunyoro Kingdom. Ever since oil developments started taking place in the area, a lot of businesses have started to grow there as well as the area. A new Airport is being finalized as well as a football stadium ahead of the 2027 AFCON Tournament that will be co-hosted by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
Therefore these are huge opportunities that a business minded person should take advantage of as soon as possible. Mame enough research about the gaps in the area and if you take your chances, you might turn into a seasoned wealth person.
Gulu
Well, this has been one of the prominent urbanized cities in the country. However, people are yet to take full advantage of it. Gulu is without a doubt the capital of Northern Uganda. This means that it feeds almost all the neighboring districts there as well as neighboring countries such as South Sudan.
The presence of Gen Salim Saleh there has also contributed a lot to the area’s growth. Some international concerts are now even being held there such as Nigeria’s Rudeboy’s recent concert. Heads of State also have visited the area. This is testament to it’s growth and people should take advantage of the business opportunities in the area.

Kamwenge
What if I told you that this is still one of the most virgin areas. Located in western Uganda in Tooro Kingdom, Kamwenge district is on the list of those districts that are slowly developing. Despite having a very big population, services are still minimal. Hotels, clubs, bars, banks amongst other recreational services are meagre. In fact the people there have to move to neighboring districts such as Ibanda for to get some services.
Do your research right and you might take over Kamwenge by storm. The main economic service there is agriculture and the lands are still fertile.
Kasese
Located in Western Uganda, this district lies in both Tooro and Rwnzururu kingdom. It also borders the Democratic Republic of Congo. A lot of economic activities take place there such as trade, agriculture, tourism among others.
Therefore it means that there is a lot of people to be served meaning increased business opportunities. There is no reason for you to keep yourself locked up in Kampala when there are a lot of other business opportunities outside the central area.
Kiboga/Mubende/Kyankwanzi
These districts lie within Bunyoro and Buganda partly. They are also hubs of people with different demographics. Mining, farming are some of the economic activities in the area.
However, there is a lot of gaps in these areas that need to be filled.
Uganda is still a developing country that has a lot of opportunities for both aspiring, established, foreign and local businessmen. Many people have made it a habit to invest in the most populous areas such as Kampala, Jinja, Mbarara among others leaving gaps in other districts.
Arm yourself with the proper information and get to work, trust me on this you will earn your returns in time. With all what said and done, those are some of the best places to do business in Uganda.
