Hub: Kampala

Central Region

Kampala, Wakiso and the corridor around them.

More verification work is commissioned in Central than in the rest of the country combined. Company addresses, rented premises, land titles and retail outlets are nearly all checked here first, because this is where registrations, agents and intermediaries cluster.

Kampala, Wakiso and the corridor around them.

Same-day reach across Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono, Mpigi and Entebbe.

What clients ask us to do in Central.

Regions differ. What a bank needs checked in Kampala is not what a donor needs checked in Gulu, and the brief is written accordingly.

A district that is not listed is not a refusal. Ask us, and we will quote it with the travel shown as its own line for you to approve, or tell you honestly that we cannot do it well.

Everything we offer is available in Central.

Turnaround varies with distance from the hub. The quote always states the date we will be on site.
