Your company file at URSB, brought up to date — and kept that way.
Annual returns, beneficial ownership declarations, director changes, share transfers. URSB compliance is quiet paperwork — until a bank, investor or tender board pulls your company file and finds it years out of date.
What this costs you every month it waits
- Accumulating late-filing penalties for every missed annual return
- Company flagged as non-compliant or presumed dormant in due diligence
- Bank facilities, investment rounds and tenders stalled by registry checks
- Directors' and shareholders' details on file not matching reality — a legal risk
The cost of waiting: URSB arrears compound quietly: late filing fees accumulate per year missed, and a non-compliant file can stall a transaction at exactly the moment funding or a tender depends on it.
Three steps. Zero guesswork.
We review
We pull your company file and compare it with reality — returns filed, officers listed, ownership recorded. You get a plain-language status report.
We file
Arrears cleared oldest-first, changes documented with proper resolutions, beneficial ownership updated. Every filing receipted.
We maintain
Your annual return goes onto our compliance calendar. Each year it's filed before the deadline without you asking.
Two questions. Your figure — not a rate card.
Registry work is fixed-fee per filing — you know the cost before we lodge anything.
“Meet 'Kiggundu Holdings' — mid-negotiation with an investor when due diligence found five years of missing annual returns and a shareholder register that still showed the founder's late father. We cleaned up the file in three weeks, papered the historical transfers properly, and the deal closed on schedule.”

Before you ask
A yearly filing confirming your company's particulars — officers, shareholding, registered address — remain accurate. It is separate from your URA tax returns. Many companies confuse the two and file neither.
Companies must disclose the natural persons who ultimately own or control them. Uganda now enforces this actively, and banks check it during KYC. An out-of-date register can freeze onboarding and transactions.
Very fixable. We compute the arrears and late fees precisely, file the backlog in order, and bring the file current. The cost is almost always smaller than the deal it might otherwise block.
