Company Registration Uganda: Expert Consultant Robert Mwesige

Starting a business in Uganda can be both exciting and daunting. Entrepreneurs want to bring their ideas to life quickly, yet they often encounter complex legal frameworks, confusing paperwork, and lengthy queues at government offices.

Robert Mwesige, a multi-certified management consulting expert based in Uganda, offers you a straightforward pathway to registering your business, ensuring compliance with all regulations, and positioning your venture for success.

As a Certified Trainer of the International Labour Organization and the Bank of Uganda, Robert brings deep knowledge of corporate governance, entrepreneurship, and strategy.

He holds an EMBA from the Quantic School of Business and Technology. He has over a decade of experience guiding organisations through legal processes, making him the perfect partner for your company formation journey.

Why Formal Company Registration Matters

 Registering a company is more than a legal formality. According to widely accepted definitions, management consulting involves providing services to organisations to improve their performance and achieve organisational objectives. Company registration is the first step toward formalising those objectives.

Without legal status, you cannot sign contracts, open a corporate bank account, or protect your personal assets. A registered company gives you a separate legal identity, enabling access to loans, grants, and investor funding. It demonstrates credibility to clients and partners, helping you build trust quickly. Additionally, registered businesses enjoy limited liability, meaning your personal assets are protected if the company incurs debt.

In Uganda, formal registration is regulated by the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB). The URSB maintains business registers and governs the incorporation of both local and foreign companies.

With a rapidly expanding economy and an increased focus on ease of doing business, registering your company now helps you tap into opportunities in agro-processing, tourism, technology, and trade. Robert Mwesige enables you to navigate URSB’s online registration system, allowing you to focus on launching your products or services.

Understanding the Regulatory Environment

 Uganda’s business environment has improved significantly in recent years, thanks to technological advancements such as the Online Business Registration System (OBRS). This portal allows entrepreneurs to reserve business names, upload incorporation documents, and pay fees electronically.

Nevertheless, you still need to understand the legal frameworks governing company formation. The Companies Act 2012 outlines the rules for incorporation, shareholding, and corporate governance.

Key regulatory agencies include the URSB, the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) for tax registration, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) for employee pension contributions, and local government authorities that issue trading licenses.

Robert Mwesige stays informed about regulatory changes and guides clients through every requirement. He emphasises compliance as a strategic advantage rather than a burden.

Through careful planning and document preparation, his consultancy minimises the risk of delays or rejections. He also advises on statutory obligations such as annual returns, changes in directorship, and company secretarial practices.

Step-by-Step Guide to Company Registration in Uganda

 Starting a business in Uganda can feel overwhelming—especially when it comes to navigating the legal registration process. With expert guidance from Robert Mwesige, an experienced consultant in company registration and compliance, the process becomes straightforward, efficient, and fully compliant with Ugandan laws.

Below is a clear, step-by-step roadmap that ensures you set up your company correctly from day one.

1. Reserve Your Company Name

The first step is securing a unique business name through the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) using the Online Business Registration System (OBRS). Robert helps you:

• Verify name availability.
• Select a name that complies with URSB regulations.
• Align the name with your brand identity and long-term strategy.

2. Prepare Legal Documents

Two critical documents are required:

• Memorandum of Association (MOA): Defines your company’s objectives and share capital.
• Articles of Association (AOA): Outlines your company’s internal management and governance rules.

Robert provides professional forms from the OBRS that are filled to fit your business model and industry standards.

3. Complete Incorporation Forms

To successfully register your company on the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) Online Business Registration System (OBRS), you will be required to prepare and submit the following documents:

1. Form 1 – Notice of Beneficial Owners Particulars

This form provides details of the ultimate beneficial owners of the company in compliance with transparency and anti–money laundering regulations.

1. Form 20 – Notification of Appointment of Director and Secretary

This document formally records the appointment of the company’s directors and secretary as part of the statutory governance structure.

1. Form A1 – Statement of Nominal Capital

A declaration of the company’s authorized share capital, setting out the amount and structure of shareholding.

1. Memorandum and Articles of Association (MOA/AOA)

The MOA defines the objectives, scope, and powers of the company, while the AOA outlines the internal management rules, shareholder rights, and decision-making processes.

1. Account Confirmation Details

Verification of the company’s official email address and contact information. These details are essential to:

1. • Receive official soft copies of registration documents; and
   • Activate the company’s online account on OBRS through One-Time Passwords (OTPs).

Robert ensures these documents are prepared accurately and consistently to avoid delays.

4. Submit Documents & Pay Fees

 Once completed, all documents are uploaded to OBRS, and the required registration fees are paid. For foreign investors, additional requirements—such as notarized passports and certified documents—may apply. Robert guides you through these steps to ensure compliance with both local and international standards.

6. Receive Certificate of Incorporation

 After approval, the URSB issues a Certificate of Incorporation, officially recognizing your company as a legal entity in Uganda. This is the foundation for all future business operations.

7. Register for Taxes

 Every registered company is required to obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) from the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA). If your annual turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, you must also register for Value Added Tax (VAT). Robert provides expert advice on tax obligations, compliance strategies, and best practices for record-keeping.

8. Obtain Trading Licence & Sector Permits

Depending on your industry, you may require additional licences, such as:

• Municipal Trading Licence (for local operations).
• Sector-specific permits (e.g., tourism, energy, financial services).
• NSSF Employer Registration for employee social security contributions.

Robert liaises directly with relevant authorities to expedite approvals.

9. Open a Corporate Bank Account

 With your incorporation documents, board resolutions, and identification, you can open a business bank account. Robert helps you evaluate and select banks that offer favorable lending terms, competitive fees, and robust digital banking platforms.

Account Opening Requirements for a Limited Company Incorporated in Uganda

• Certified true copy of the Certificate of Incorporation by the registrar of companies.
• Certified true copy of the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association by the registrar of companies.
• Certified true copy of the Board Resolution indicating that the account is to be opened at the Bank, currency of account(s) to be opened, names of the signatories who will manage the account, and signing powers/Mandate
• Certified true copy of Company form 20 (the List of Directors)- Formerly form 7
• Certified true copy of the Company form 18 (business location)- Formerly form 9
• Certified true copy of Notice of Beneficial Owners Particulars from URSB
• Trading License/Operational Licence/Permit
• Tax Identification Number (TIN) for the company.
• Company Search Fees of at least UGX 50,000/=/=

10. Draft Shareholder Agreements

 For businesses with multiple shareholders, a shareholder agreement is essential. This document:

• Clarifies decision-making processes.
• Protects minority shareholders.
• Outlines rights, responsibilities, and exit strategies.

Robert ensures agreements are legally sound and aligned with your long-term growth plans.

11. Maintain Statutory Records & Ongoing Compliance

 After incorporation, every company must maintain up-to-date statutory records, including:

• Share registers.
• Minutes of board and annual general meetings.
• Annual returns filed with URSB.

Robert provides corporate secretarial services to keep your company fully compliant and audit-ready.

Why Work with Robert Mwesige?

 By following this structured process, you eliminate unnecessary delays, avoid costly compliance mistakes, and position your business for growth. With Robert’s personalized, hands-on consulting support, you can confidently focus on building your business while every registration step is managed with precision.

Types of Business Entities in Uganda

 Uganda offers several types of business structures. Choosing the right one has implications for taxes, liability, and governance. The main categories include:

Sole Proprietorship

 This is the simplest form of business, owned and operated by one individual. It is suitable for small enterprises and freelancers. The owner has unlimited liability and is responsible for paying taxes through personal income tax. Registration is straightforward but does not provide a separate legal identity.

Partnership

 A partnership involves two or more individuals who agree to share profits, losses, and management responsibilities. Partnerships may be general (partners have unlimited liability) or limited (liability is restricted to capital contributions). A partnership deed is essential for regulating roles, profit sharing, and dispute resolution.

Private Limited Company (Ltd)

 Most businesses in Uganda choose to register as a Private Limited Company. This entity provides limited liability to shareholders and requires a minimum of one director and one shareholder. Shares are not traded publicly, which allows owners to retain control. Robert Mwesige often recommends this structure to entrepreneurs who wish to attract investors without exposing personal assets.

Public Limited Company (PLC)

A Public Limited Company can offer shares to the public and must have at least seven shareholders. It is suitable for large enterprises seeking to raise capital through share offerings. Governance requirements are stricter, and additional filings with the Capital Markets Authority may be necessary if you intend to list on the stock exchange.

Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO)

 If your mission is charitable or non-profit, you may register as an NGO. This structure requires registration with the National Bureau for NGOs and adherence to regulations governing non-profits. Robert assists organisations that aim to create social impact in areas such as environmental conservation and youth empowerment.

Foreign Company Branch

 International companies operating in Uganda can register a branch or subsidiary. A branch operates under the parent company’s name and is subject to Ugandan tax on local income. A subsidiary is a separate legal entity incorporated locally. Robert guides foreign investors in choosing the proper structure, understanding the repatriation of profits, and complying with local content requirements.

Required Documents for Company Formation

 To successfully register a company, you must provide accurate and complete documentation. Typical requirements include:

• Memorandum and Articles of Association (signed by all shareholders)
• Completed incorporation forms (A1, A2, A3)
• Company Name Reservation Notice from URSB
• National IDs or passports for all directors and shareholders
• Passport-sized photographs
• Tax Identification Numbers (if available)
• Registered office address (physical location)
• Shareholder agreements (for multiple shareholders)
• Power of attorney (if registering on behalf of another person)

Robert Mwesige provides templates and reviews all documents to ensure consistency. Errors in personal names, addresses, or share capital can lead to unnecessary delays. For foreign shareholders, documents may need to be notarised and translated into English.

Navigating the URSB Online Business Registration System (OBRS)

 The OBRS is Uganda’s digitised platform for registering businesses. It streamlines many processes that previously required physical visits to URSB offices. Through OBRS, you can reserve your company name, upload incorporation documents, pay fees, and track your application status.

Robert Mwesige guides clients through the OBRS interface, ensuring that forms are filled correctly and payments are processed securely. If technical issues arise, he liaises directly with URSB staff to resolve them. He also advises on best practices for maintaining digital records of your filings, making it easier to renew licences and file annual returns.

Legal Compliance and Tax Obligations

 Once your company is incorporated, ongoing compliance becomes critical. Failure to meet statutory obligations can result in fines, the revocation of licenses, or a loss of reputation. Key compliance areas include:

• Annual Returns – Every year, companies must submit an annual return to URSB, confirming details such as shareholding, directors, and registered address. Robert ensures timely filing to avoid penalties.

• Tax Registration – Obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) and register for VAT if applicable. Maintain proper accounting records for submission of monthly or quarterly returns. Robert advises on allowable deductions, record‑keeping, and tax planning.

• NSSF Registration – Companies employing staff must register with the National Social Security Fund and remit contributions. Robert explains contribution rates and assists with compliance.

• Local Government Licensing – Secure trading licences from municipal councils and renew them annually. Sector-specific licences (e.g., tourism, health) must also be obtained.

• Labour Law Compliance – Draft employment contracts that align with the Employment Act; prepare workplace policies; maintain staff files; and ensure you are compliant with occupational health and safety regulations.

Robert Mwesige’s extensive human resources expertise enables him to integrate compliance into your business operations. By aligning HR policies with statutory requirements, he helps create a culture of accountability and transparency.

Building a Strong Business Foundation

 Company registration is only the beginning. To thrive, you need a robust foundation that encompasses strategic planning, effective governance, and precise market positioning. Robert Mwesige helps entrepreneurs craft business plans that outline market opportunities, competition, financial projections, and risk management. His background in digital marketing and artificial intelligence enables him to incorporate data-driven strategies into your plan.

Corporate Governance and Shareholder Relations

 Good corporate governance fosters investor confidence and reduces internal conflicts. Robert emphasises the importance of establishing a board of directors, defining roles and responsibilities, and creating clear policies for decision-making. He advises on shareholder agreements, dividend policies, and conflict resolution mechanisms.

Branding and Digital Presence

 In an era where customers research businesses online, your digital presence is crucial. Robert is a Google-certified digital marketing expert and a prolific copywriter. He can help you build a professional website, optimise it for search engines, and craft persuasive content that tells your company’s story. Leveraging social media, he ensures your brand resonates with your target audience and communicates your value proposition effectively.

Environmental and Social Responsibility

 As founder of Tooro Environment Stewardship for Sustainable Development (TESSD), Robert champions sustainability. He advises companies on integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into their operations. This includes energy efficiency, ethical supply chains, community engagement, and compliance with environmental regulations. Incorporating ESG principles not only enhances reputation but also opens doors to investors who prioritise sustainable businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to register a company in Uganda?

 The timeframe varies depending on the completeness of your documents and the responsiveness of government agencies. With Robert’s guidance, most companies receive their Certificate of Incorporation within 3–5 working days after submitting the necessary paperwork through the OBRS. Additional registrations, such as tax and NSSF, may take another week.

Can foreigners register a company in Uganda?

 Yes. Foreign investors can register a company as either a branch, a subsidiary, or an entirely new entity. Requirements include notarized passports, proof of residence, and, in some cases, investment licenses from the Uganda Investment Authority. Robert assists in compiling these documents and liaises with authorities to ensure smooth processing.

Do I need a physical office address to register for the program?

 Yes. The URSB requires a registered office address. This can be a rented office, a home office, or a shared workspace, provided you have a tenancy agreement. Robert advises on obtaining an address that meets regulatory standards and suits your business needs.

What are the main costs involved?

 Costs include name reservation fees, registration fees (based on the share capital), stamp duty, drafting of legal documents, and professional consultancy services. There may also be fees for trading licenses, tax registration, and sector-specific permits. Robert provides a transparent quotation at the outset, allowing you to budget accurately.

Is a lawyer mandatory for company registration?

Robert’s services encompass document drafting, regulatory compliance, and strategic advice, thereby reducing the need for separate legal representation.

Deep Dive: The Ugandan Business Landscape and Opportunities for New Companies

 An Emerging Economy with High Growth Potential

 Uganda has one of the youngest and most dynamic populations in Africa. With over 45 million people, more than half of whom are under the age of 30, there is a ready workforce and a fast-growing consumer base. In recent years, the country has registered GDP growth rates averaging 5–6 percent, driven by sectors such as agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, information technology, financial services, and natural resources. The government’s commitment to the Vision 2040 agenda aims to transform Uganda into a middle-income economy by investing in infrastructure, energy production, education, and industrialisation. For entrepreneurs, this macroeconomic environment presents numerous opportunities. Registering your company positions you to take advantage of government incentives, public‑private partnerships and access to domestic and regional markets.

Sector‑Specific Opportunities

• Agribusiness – Agriculture remains the backbone of Uganda’s economy, contributing about 24 percent of GDP. Opportunities exist in commercial farming, value addition (processing coffee, tea, cocoa, fruits, and dairy), agrologistics, farm inputs, and export trade. Registering an agribusiness allows you to take advantage of financing from government programmes like the Agricultural Credit Facility and partnerships with NGOs that support smallholder farmers.

• Tourism and Hospitality – Uganda’s breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and cultural heritage attract tourists from around the world. Opportunities include eco‑tourism lodges, tour operations, community tourism initiatives, event management, and hospitality training. Registered tourism companies benefit from marketing support by the Uganda Tourism Board and can obtain licences from the Ministry of Tourism more easily.

• Information and Communication Technology (ICT) – The tech ecosystem is booming, with a vibrant start-up scene in Kampala and other cities. There is demand for software development, digital payment solutions, online marketplaces, digital media, and AI-driven innovations. A registered ICT company can bid for government tenders, attract international investors, and qualify for tax incentives under the Uganda Investment Authority.

• Manufacturing and Light Industry – As Uganda strives to reduce its import bill, manufacturing of goods such as textiles, construction materials, pharmaceuticals, and food products is a strategic priority. Industrial parks across the country offer a range of benefits, including infrastructure and tax incentives. A legally registered manufacturing entity can secure land leases and access credit lines from commercial banks and development finance institutions.

• Renewable Energy and Environmental Services – Uganda is endowed with abundant renewable energy resources, including solar, hydro, and biomass. There is growing demand for clean energy solutions, waste management, water purification, and conservation projects. Registering a company in this sector allows you to participate in green energy projects, carbon trading schemes, and environmental stewardship initiatives. Robert’s role as founder of an environmental NGO gives him unique insights into regulatory requirements and sustainable practices.

Typical Challenges for Start‑Ups in Uganda

 While opportunities abound, entrepreneurs often face obstacles that can hamper growth if not addressed early on:

• Bureaucratic Delays – Even with the OBRS, processing documents can take longer than expected due to high workload at government offices or incomplete submissions. Engaging an experienced consultant like Robert mitigates these delays by ensuring proper documentation and following up with officials on your behalf.

• Informal Practices – A large portion of economic activity is informal, meaning many businesses operate without registration, proper accounting, or tax compliance. Entering the market without formalising your operations exposes you to risks such as legal penalties, inability to enforce contracts, and missed opportunities to expand. Formal registration ensures you are part of the formal economy and can build credibility.

• Access to Capital – Securing financing is a significant challenge for entrepreneurs, particularly for those without collateral or credit history. Registered companies can access loans from commercial banks, microfinance institutions, and government programmes. They can also attract equity investment from angel investors and venture capital funds. A well-structured company with good governance is more appealing to financiers.

• Talent Management – Retaining skilled staff is complex in a competitive labour market. Robert’s HR expertise helps you develop performance management systems, compensation structures, and staff development programmes that improve retention. A registered company can also sponsor work permits for foreign experts when local skills are in short supply.

• Infrastructure and Utilities – In some regions, access to reliable electricity, water, and internet can be erratic. Proper planning and resource allocation during the registration and business planning stages enable you to budget for generators, alternative water supply systems, and backup connectivity solutions. Robert advises clients on strategic location choices to mitigate these challenges.

Harnessing Digital Marketing and Artificial Intelligence

 Robert Mwesige’s unique blend of HR expertise and digital marketing prowess adds a valuable dimension to your business registration journey.

Once your company is legally incorporated, he guides you on how to leverage search engine optimisation (SEO), social media marketing, and content creation to attract customers. With a clear digital strategy, your business can connect with audiences in Kampala, Jinja, Mukono, Entebbe, and beyond.

AI tools can automate customer service, analyze market data, and personalize marketing messages, giving you a competitive edge. Robert integrates these digital solutions into your business plan from the beginning, ensuring your marketing efforts are aligned with your overall strategy.

Extended Case Study: From Idea to Thriving Enterprise

 Background: Sarah is a young entrepreneur from Mukono who wanted to transform her passion for fashion into a clothing brand. She had a vision to design eco-friendly outfits made from locally sourced materials and to create sustainable employment for local tailors.

Challenge: Sarah’s initial attempts to register her business were frustrating. She reserved a name, but her application was rejected due to incomplete documents. Unsure about the proper legal structure and licensing requirements, she faced delays that affected her timeline and investor confidence.

Solution: Sarah contacted Robert Mwesige after hearing about his expertise. Robert helped her revisit her business model and choose a Private Limited Company structure to protect her personal assets and attract investors.

He guided her through the OBRS, corrected errors in her Memorandum and Articles of Association, and ensured the forms matched the URSB requirements. Robert also advised her on securing a trademark for her brand name, registering for taxes, and designing a basic HR manual for her growing team.

Sarah also benefited from Robert’s digital marketing training; she learned how to set up an e-commerce website, optimise it for keywords such as “Uganda fashion” and “eco-friendly clothing Mukono”, and use social media to reach customers in Kampala and Entebbe.

Outcome: Within six weeks, Sarah received her Certificate of Incorporation, tax registration, and trading licences. Her brand quickly gained traction thanks to her digital presence and strong ethical story. She secured a loan from a local bank, expanded her team, and opened a showroom in Entebbe. Her success attracted international retailers, and she is now exploring export opportunities within East Africa. Sarah credits Robert’s comprehensive support—combining legal, HR, and digital expertise—for turning her idea into a thriving enterprise.

Expanded Frequently Asked Questions

 What is the difference between a sole proprietorship and a private limited company?

 A sole proprietorship is owned and managed by one individual. The owner has unlimited liability, meaning personal assets can be used to settle business debts. A private limited company, on the other hand, is a separate legal entity. The liability of shareholders is limited to the shares they hold. A private limited company can issue shares, attract investors, and continue to exist even if ownership changes. Robert Mwesige helps you evaluate your business goals, risk tolerance, and capital requirements to choose the most appropriate structure.

How do I protect my company name and brand?

 After reserving your company name, you should consider registering a trademark with the African Regional Intellectual Property Organisation (ARIPO) or the Uganda Registration Services Bureau. A trademark protects your brand name, logo, and slogan from being used by others. Robert assists with trademark searches, application drafting, and monitoring renewals. He also advises on domain name registration and online brand protection strategies.

Do I need to join a professional association or a chamber of commerce?

 Joining professional associations and chambers of commerce—such as the Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU), Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA), or industry-specific bodies—provides networking opportunities, advocacy, and access to training. Membership can help you stay informed about industry trends, government policies, and funding opportunities. Robert connects you with relevant associations, emphasising the value of community and collaboration.

How can I attract investors or partners after registration?

 Investors seek businesses with clear governance structures, well-defined market opportunities, and robust financial projections. After registering your company, Robert works with you to develop a professional business plan, investor pitch deck, and economic model. He also prepares due diligence documents, such as audited financial statements and legal compliance records, which investors require. His network spans Kampala, Jinja, Mukono, and Entebbe, enabling him to introduce you to angel investors, venture capital firms, and potential partners.

What happens if I want to change my company name or structure later?

 You can change your company name by passing a special resolution and submitting an application to URSB with the proposed name. Similarly, you can convert from a private limited company to a public limited company or vice versa by following the procedures in the Companies Act. Robert guides you through drafting resolutions, amending the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and completing the necessary forms. He also advises on the implications for taxes, licences, and shareholding.

How do I close or wind up my company?

 Closing a company involves either voluntary or compulsory winding‑up. Voluntary winding‑up is initiated by the shareholders when the company has fulfilled its purpose or becomes insolvent. The process includes passing a resolution, notifying creditors, and appointing a liquidator. Compulsory winding‑up is ordered by the court. Robert explains the legal implications, prepares the necessary documents, and coordinates with URSB and the Official Receiver to ensure a lawful and orderly closure.

Continuing Support Beyond Registration

 One of Robert Mwesige’s distinguishing qualities is his commitment to building long-term relationships with clients. After your company is up and running, Robert remains available to provide ongoing consultancy in areas such as strategic planning, human resource management, marketing, financial literacy, and sustainability. This integrated support ensures your company not only survives the start-up phase but thrives in the long term.

Strategic Planning and Business Development

 Robert helps you refine your vision, mission, and objectives. He facilitates strategic planning sessions with your leadership team to set achievable goals, identify market segments, analyse competitors, and allocate resources effectively. Strategic planning is not a one-off exercise; Robert encourages regular reviews to adapt to changes in the business environment.

Human Resource Management

 Effective management of people is crucial to business success. Robert’s expertise in human resources—including the preparation of HR manuals and employee handbooks—ensures you establish clear policies, performance management systems, and training programmes. He advises on recruitment strategies, succession planning, compensation structures, and compliance with labour laws. These elements contribute to increased employee satisfaction and productivity.

Marketing and Customer Acquisition

 Leveraging his digital marketing certifications, Robert designs data-driven marketing strategies that incorporate search engine optimisation (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, social media campaigns, email marketing, and influencer partnerships.

His approach balances organic and paid channels to maximise reach and return on investment.

Financial Literacy and Sustainability

 Many entrepreneurs struggle with financial management, particularly in areas such as forecasting, budgeting, and cash flow analysis. As a Certified Financial Literacy Trainer of the Bank of Uganda, Robert provides training on basic and advanced financial concepts, helping you interpret balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and cash flow projections. He also emphasises sustainability: integrating social and environmental considerations into financial planning. This approach appeals to conscious consumers and investors who prioritize ethical business practices.

Community and Environmental Impact

 Robert advocates for businesses to play an active role in their communities. Whether through corporate social responsibility programmes, skills development for youth, or environmental conservation projects, he helps you create initiatives that align with your values and enhance your reputation. As founder of Guiding Lads Uganda Ltd and Tooro Environment Stewardship for Sustainable Development (TESSD), Robert has first‑hand experience in creating community impact.
