The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Trading License Application form is a pivotal document for both seasoned and aspiring business owners in the region, facilitating compliance with the Trade (Licensing) Act, CAP. 101 and the Trade (Licensing) Regulations, 2012. This comprehensive form requires applicants to provide detailed information including the full name of the applicant, business name, contact details, the business's registration number, location, nature of business, tax identification number, and the names and nationalities of directors. Additionally, it seeks information on the company’s or firm’s share capital, the historic incorporation data if applicable, any criminal offence convictions of the proprietor or company, previous trading license endorsements or cancellations, and the provisions made for record-keeping. It also incorporates a declaration by the applicant affirming the truthfulness of the provided particulars, culminating in a section for official use only, emphasizing the thorough pre-assessment and approval process. The application is a key step in ensuring that businesses operate legally, with the KCCA providing guidelines for both new and ongoing businesses on acquiring a trading license, including the necessity of having the previous year's license, receipt, and for new businesses, the Certificate of Incorporation and a tenancy agreement. The regulation underscores the legal requirement to possess and conspicuously display a trading license within business premises, reflecting KCCA’s commitment to regulate and facilitate legitimate business operations in Kampala.
