How do I obtain a trade licence in Kampala for a small restaurant, and what permits come first?

Question

I’m planning to open a small restaurant in Kampala and I’m confused about the order of approvals, like KCCA licensing and any health-related clearances. I want to avoid fines or closure for starting operations before the right permits are issued.

Hello, Congratulations on your upcoming business. You can obtain the approvals simultaneously. According to the practice, you can obtain the trading licence even before you start operating as long as you have identified the business location. As for the health-related clearances, there is a need for health inspectors to visit the restaurant premises before issuing the licence. So once you have set up the restaurant, you invite the KCCA officials who inspect the premises and issue the relevant certificates.
