Uganda Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Uganda company register data is held by the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB), searchable for a fee through its e-Registry, under the Companies Act 2012 as amended in 2022. Beneficial ownership is governed by the Companies (Beneficial Owners) Regulations, 2023, also held by URSB, using no single fixed percentage but instead a test of ownership, control, or significant influence over the company. It is held internally by URSB rather than searchable online, restricted to regulatory use. Entity identity is verifiable at source through URSB's e-Registry; beneficial ownership has to be requested directly from the Bureau.
