The upcoming UMA 2nd Annual Financial Symposium (June 10th-11th, 2025) highlights a crucial insight for Ugandan manufacturers: their machinery is not just equipment, but a source of potential liquidity.

As emphasized by Josephine Okui Ossiya, CEO of CMA Uganda, this concept of asset-based financing allows manufacturers to unlock capital tied up in their existing machinery. By leveraging these assets, businesses can access vital working capital, fund expansions, bridge cash flow gaps, and optimize their financial health without diluting equity. The symposium offers a unique opportunity for manufacturers to learn about these innovative solutions, directly from financial experts, and network with key stakeholders to drive their growth.
