2.4. Sampling and Scope of Survey
The survey targeted 200 people in the general public mainly involved in the operation of small
and micro businesses. It covered such groups of people as market vendors, tailors, motorgarage owners, restaurants, retail shops, various types of workshops, e.t.c. The sample was
randomly drawn from the districts of Mukono, Jinja, Wakiso, Kampala, Masaka and Luweero.
According to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, A Report on the Uganda Business Register,2003, the selected districts had a high concentration of small business operations. Findings
from the selected districts and locations would be representative of the national picture in terms
of micro- asset needs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Due to time limitation andlimited resources, the whole country could not be covered in the survey.
Owing to the diversity of the target respondents, sampling techniques applied were acombination of systematic random sampling and judgmental technique. )

Market Survey on Micro Asset Leasing-April 2008Questionnaire Number Location name
Interviewers Name Date of interview
I am undertaking a survey on business operations in this area with the aim of identifying areas in which small businesses
can be supported and assisted in their growth and development. Our main focus is on the aspect of Micro Asset Leasing.
Leasing is a contract through which some uses equipment owned by someone else. The user (the lessee) pays regular
amounts to the owner (the lessor). The main objective of micro asset leasing is to enable members of the public in small
business operations to acquire productive assets. In this case the documents of title/ownership to the asset are retained by
the micro finance institution until full loan is repaid or recovered.
