Our Story

A Decade of Dedication — From Zero to Hero

MotorTrader was founded in Uganda in 2015 as a bootstrapped start-up with a small, dedicated team. In a conservative vehicle retail market slow to embrace digital, we saw a transformative opportunity: to empower consumers by putting the power of choice directly into their hands.

Operating with the agility of a start-up and the ambition of an industry leader, we focused on smart technology and user experience. Our growth was organic, driven by a singular focus on building a trusted, recognizable brand.

MotorTrader.co.ug is a premier product of the Katsha Group, providing the stability of a multinational conglomerate while retaining our innovative start-up spirit.
