Basics 101.  changing business minds

Hello. Oli'otya. Which is the best sector for business in Uganda?

We think we know the best business(es) for an entrepreneur to choose based on our Inachee index.

 

For over 12 years we have been profiling and ranking different businesses (in Uganda) on the basis of Return on Investment (ROI) and so we can guide you on how a particular business you choose will likely perform, compared to others. We have turned this expertise into our business feasibility study service. 

 

​We have to date done research on close to 50 sectors but to help you, in our view (drum roll) some of the top businesses TO DATE that you should consider to go into by Return on Investment (ROI) (measured in years not %) are:

We can help you:

  • Evaluate a business/idea's potential

  • Give you a ROI snapshot + Inachee score index.

  • Helps you assess: "Is this idea worth pursuing?"

  • Save the energy from wasting money on a business that you are not sure about.   

Please note: An assessment of ROI can vary based on a number of factors - such as the location (e.g. country, state, specific location) and this can therefore affect the cost of business and thus the returns. There is also the skill of the entrepreneur. For each of the above sectors, we are assuming a relative level of competence and in assessing the ROI, we have undertaken detailed research to assess the pros and cons of the specific business as well as done a financial analysis to determine the estimate of the start-up costs and profitability, but this information can change over time. and likewise the ranking above can change from time to time - so continue to visit our website to see changes. 

 

If you think you have better information on the ROI and so want to challenge our assessment, we love a healthy and professionally respectful discussion - email us. Additionally, if you have a sector you would like us to feature but is not in the list, email the head of our thought leadership team: dwasake@inachee.com
