My observation as the director of pure vilo holdings Uganda Ltd is that in
Uganda today , the trade is extremely open with very little regulation . It is extremely easy to start businesses and compete with existing ones

The biggest challenge I have personally faced is little to no trust for local products by Ugandans . Foreign brand can easily take away all your market share even when you are providing a better or equivalent quality product

Also because of the openness of the trade . Periodically many companies doing the same thing come up and go down at almost the same time for example there were years where you would find an Internet cafes on any street in Kampala there was a period for sports betting kiosks
There was a time where everyone who owns a computer
Was trading in bulk SMS. And this is a period where you can find five or more mobile money kiosks in 100 square meters area of course demand is a big factor for this behavior especially advances in technology and introduction of newer better solutions
