Important Update for April 2026 and Beyond
As Ghana continues to improve the ease of doing business, important changes have been made to minimum stated capital requirements for company registration.
Key Clarifications (as of April 2026):
- The old GHS 1 Million minimum no longer applies across the board.
- The previous minimum of GHS 200,000 is also not the standard requirement for most businesses.
- New relaxed rules have been introduced, making company registration more accessible, especially for genuine investors and service-oriented businesses.
Current Position (April 2026):
- ORC (Office of the Registrar of Companies) and GIPC websites have not yet been fully updated to reflect the latest changes.
- The updates are expected to be officially reflected on both platforms within the coming weeks.
- In practice, many new registrations are already benefiting from the revised, lower thresholds.
Why This Matters for Foreign Investors
These changes are part of Ghana’s ongoing efforts to attract more foreign direct investment by removing unnecessary barriers while still protecting local interests (particularly in trading activities).
