How it works
From your details to a registered business.
You answer the questions and upload the documents once. A lawyer reviews everything and files with the Registrar-General. Here is exactly what happens, who does what, and how long each step takes.
01 · Create an account and pick your structure
a few minutes
You do
Create an account and choose one of five structures. The chooser explains who each one is for, and you can change your mind before you pay.
We do
Show you the people, documents and fees for that structure before you begin.
02 · Answer the guided questions
10 to 45 min
You do
Answer questions about names, people, address and, for companies, shares or guarantees. Save and come back whenever you like.
We do
Check every answer as you go and flag anything missing before you submit.
03 · Upload documents for each person
your pace
You do
Upload a Ghana Card or passport, a passport photo and, for company officers, a TIN certificate for each person you listed.

Tell you exactly which document is needed for whom and see a checklist that updates as you upload.
04 · Pay by mobile money

Pay the government fee and our fee with MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash or AirtelTigo Money. Add express processing if you want it.

After you pay
Track your status the whole way
