An investment club built on trust, discipline and togetherness.
Freshmans Ltd mobilises resources for a close community of members and channels them into land, member lending and money-market investments — while keeping the social and cultural ties that founded the company strong.
Friends who turned Tuesday evenings into a company.
Freshmans began as a group of friends meeting for social activities every Tuesday evening. What started as weekly savings between friends grew into a Ugandan registered private company, incorporated in November 1995, now made up of 37 professionals and entrepreneurs from within and outside Uganda. We remain an invitation-only membership, built on impeccable character, integrity and a shared commitment to mobilising resources responsibly.

Loans To Members
Unsecured, short-term facilities extended to members at subsidised rates, guaranteed by their shareholding — a low-risk avenue that rewards commitment.
