Business experts say that in the 60 or so days that people were forced into their homes and with no sources of income, there are chances that business owners especially small ones 'ate their capital.'

Experts also argue that before getting capital, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), should be clear about the direction the business will be taking.

Just like Mr Ocici, Mr Emmanuel Dei-Tumi, president of Human Capital international, says the first step is looking into the expenses of the company, lifestyle of the owner and how they need to change.

There are informal sources where a business can look for money.

In a country where SMEs contribute over 70 per cent of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employ many, government is recapitalising Uganda Development Bank (UDB) with an aim of supporting SMEs.
