A quantitative methodology is used for data collection based on 110 incubatee start-up firms from 8 incubators in Uganda.

A principal factor analysis was conducted to single out the particular constructs of business incubation practices and sustainability. Simple random sampling was used for selecting start-ups from the incubation centres. The sampling framework consists of the founders of the start-ups that have been previously incubated at any of the selected incubation centres.
