How to Register a Business in Ghana: A 2025 Step-by-Step Guide

Registering a business in Ghana is the first step to accessing loans, contracts, and a business bank account. The Registrar General's Department (RGD) handles company registration.

First, decide on your business type. A Sole Proprietorship is fastest for individual traders, while a Limited Liability Company offers liability protection.

Prepare your documents: a valid Ghana Card for each owner, proof of address, and a TIN. Have two preferred names ready.

With Stone Business Consult, you complete a guided online form, upload documents, and we file with the RGD — typically within 7 business days.
