Company registration in Ghana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ghana has several business registration systems. Company registration is done by the Registrar General's Department,[1] but this duty will be transferred to the new Office of the Registrar of Companies under the terms of the Companies Act, 2018.[2] Both resident Ghanaian companies and branches of foreign companies are required to register and obtain a permit before operating in Ghana.[3] In 2008-2009 procedures were simplified and the target is now to complete registration within one day.[4]
