According to the newly-enacted Uganda Investment Code, the State Minister for Investment may require foreigners to meet certain minimal capital investment thresholds, based on the sector.  If the foreign investor intends to engage in any business beyond merely trading (i.e., intends to manufacture goods or provide services), the investor must acquire a license from the UIA.  There are no restrictions on the sale and distribution of products once they are allowed in the country.  Foreign companies often partner with local businesses to sell their products.
