The head offices
were relocated earlier this week on 20th September 2022.
During this
transition period, official said, all registration services (Business
Registrations, Intellectual Property Registration, Insolvency Services) remain
accessible at Georgian House, Level One until further notice.
URSB is responsible
for civil registrations (including marriages and divorces but not including
births, adoptions, or deaths), business registrations (setups and
liquidations), registration of patents and intellectual property rights, and
any other registrations required by law.
The 12
floor-storied, four-basement facility will house the (URSB), Capital Markets
Authority and Uganda Investment Authority to work in an integrated manner in
providing the business community and investors with the necessary documents
they need to facilitate business and investments process in the same building.

The building will also house a One Stop Centre with over 15 service points which will improve service delivery to the private sector by ensuring that less time is taken in registering and starting a business.
The move to a permanent head office is a major milestone for URSB as it will save on the enormous amounts of money spent on renting facilities while giving the organization a stable repute and comfortable working conditions.

“The new office provides a more conducive environment for staff and for our work. It also provides enhanced security since access to the office is controlled by finger imaging. We thank the Board, Government of Uganda and the World Bank for support in approving resources that facilitated this construction,” noted the Registrar General
The country’s business ranking improved by 11 positions from 127th to 116th out of 190 economies on the backdrop of reforms geared at making it easy for investors to start a business.
The UBFC was undertaken under the Competitiveness & Enterprise Development Project (CEDP), as a Government of Uganda project funded by the World Bank and coordinated by the Private Sector Foundation.
