Ghana Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Ghana company register data is held by the Registrar-General's Department under the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992). The same Act created the Central Register of Beneficial Owners, kept by the Registrar-General in both manual and electronic form, applying a 20% ownership threshold or, below that level, a test of significant influence over decision-making. For a fee of roughly 25 Ghanaian cedi per record, with personal identifiers like ID numbers and addresses withheld from public view, while competent authorities such as the Financial Intelligence Centre get free full access. The rollout was phased, with extractive-sector and financial-institution companies required to register first from September 2020.
