Equity Bank Uganda has taken the reins as the main sponsor of the prestigious Top 100 Mid-Sized Companies survey and awards, partnering with KPMG and the Nation Media Group.
This initiative, now in its fifth year, aims to recognize and celebrate Uganda’s fastest-growing medium-sized companies, showcasing business excellence and highlighting successful entrepreneurship stories.
At the launch event on July 22nd, Anthony Kituuka, Managing Director of Equity Bank Uganda, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “This initiative presents a significant opportunity for us to showcase our SME offerings and solidify our position as a key financial partner in the sector.” He committed to supporting the awards for the next three years, emphasizing the bank’s focus on empowering communities and fostering business growth.
The Top 100 Survey targets SMEs with a turnover of UGX360 million to UGX25 billion and is an annual activity. The campaign will run for three months, culminating in an award dinner gala in December.
Edgar Mukasa, Associate Director of Tax & Regulatory Services at KPMG Uganda, presented on “Harnessing Tax Opportunities for SMEs from FY 2024/25 National Budget,” encouraging SMEs to tap into the opportunities in the UGX72 trillion Ugandan budget.
This partnership marks a significant shift, as Equity Bank takes over from DFCU Bank as the main sponsor. The collaboration aims to promote business excellence, economic growth, and entrepreneurship in Uganda’s mid-sized companies.
