Equity Bank Uganda, in partnership with KPMG and Nation Media Group (NMG), will tomorrow officially launch the 2025 edition of the Top 100 Mid-Sized Companies Survey at a high-profile event to be held at the Sheraton Hotel Kampala.

This year’s survey will run under the theme: “Driving Inclusive Business Growth – Empowering SMEs across All Sectors for Economic Transformation.” The initiative seeks to identify and celebrate high-performing mid-sized businesses that are making significant contributions to Uganda’s economy.

Now in its 16th edition, the Top 100 Survey targets companies with annual turnovers between UGX 360 million and UGX 25 billion. It evaluates firms on several key performance metrics including revenue growth, profitability, return on investment, and liquidity, offering participants benchmarking insights and a platform to boost visibility and competitiveness.

“As a champion of the SME sector, Equity Bank Uganda is proud to be part of this initiative that supports the backbone of our economy,” the bank said in a statement. “Through our tailored financial and non-financial solutions, we continue to empower entrepreneurs to expand their reach, formalize operations, and compete in regional and global markets.”

The 2025 campaign will run for three months and will feature regional forums covering Finance, Tourism, and Technology. These engagements will offer participants opportunities for learning, networking, and knowledge exchange. The program will culminate in the Top 100 Awards Dinner, where top-performing companies will be honoured.

Organizers say the launch event will bring together private sector leaders, government officials, development partners, and members of the media, underscoring the importance of cross-sector collaboration in building a vibrant SME ecosystem.

Nation Media Group, through its platforms such as Daily Monitor and NTV Uganda, will offer comprehensive coverage of the survey, highlighting the achievements of participating businesses and providing a platform for their stories to reach wider audiences.

KPMG, which manages the technical and analytical components of the survey, brings its global expertise in performance benchmarking, ensuring the integrity and value of the process.

With 2.3 million account holders, Equity Bank is  now Uganda’s second largest lender by subscription.
