How to grow your business in Uganda — Without spending on Ads
Jeff May 31, 2025
If you’re a small business owner in Uganda, this is for you.
You started something. Maybe it’s a salon. A carpentry workshop. A cleaning company. A small events business. A phone repair kiosk. Or a part-time design hustle. That’s no small thing — getting started is hard. The next step is thinking of how to grow your business in Uganda.
But to be honest, growing and getting customers? Even harder
The good news is, you’re not alone. Thousands of small businesses in Uganda are stuck not because they don’t offer good services — but because nobody knows they exist — Period.
The truth about growing a business in Uganda today
Most small businesses can’t grow because they can’t afford a billboard; or TV ads; or even to boost posts on Facebook daily. And even when they do, to see substantial results, you need to do it consistently for some time.
So what’s the affordable way to get noticed and grow your business in Uganda in 2025?
The answer: Being where people are searching.
That’s what ttunda.com is here for. Giving you the visibility you need to turn those baby steps to something you’re proud of.
Why ttunda is the visibility platform for small businesses
ttunda is Uganda’s growing online classifieds hub — where everyday people come to search for services, items, and deals in their local area.
It’s designed to be simple, mobile-friendly, and 100% free to use ( You only pay when you wish to but ttunda will never collect funds from those who want to just post their ad.)
As a small business owner, this is a chance to:
- List what you offer with full details
- Be found by people in your area looking for that service
- Add photos, location, and contact info
- Appear on Google when someone searches what you offer
All that… without paying a coin.
Your customers are online (Even when you're not)
Ugandans are searching daily for things like:
- “Affordable salon near me”
- “TV repair guy in Ntinda”
- “Best carpenter in Kampala”
- “Home cleaning services Uganda”
Why not show up in those results?
You don’t need a website.
You don’t need to be a tech person.
You don’t even need a laptop.
Just a smartphone, a little bit of internet bundles either MTN, Airtel or Lyca; whatever the network you choose. And of course, a few minutes to list your item — That’s all.
It's not magic. It's visibility
What if just one listing brought you 3 — 5 clients this week? What if your business showed up in Google searches like the big guys?
It’s not magic, it’s possible — and thousands are already doing it on ttunda.
To confirm if you too can, just do one thing.
You started something. Now let's grow it together
You don’t need to compete with giant companies on ad budgets. You just need to be seen where people are already looking. And that’s ttunda. Let’s put your hustle on the Ugandan online map
