Ghana Foreign Investment Guide (2025 Laws Explained)

Who Is This Ghana Foreign Investment Guide For?

Anyone thinking about starting a business or making an investment in Ghana. This includes first-time investors, diaspora entrepreneurs, and companies exploring West Africa. No legal background needed.

1. Why Ghana? The Big Picture

If you’re thinking about investing in West Africa, Ghana is usually the first country serious investors look at, and for good reason.

Ghana has been a stable democracy since 1992, with multiple peaceful transfers of power between political parties. Its legal system is based on English common law, which means the courts, contracts, and company structures will feel familiar to anyone from the UK, US, Canada, or Australia. English is the official language. And the country sits right in the middle of West Africa, giving businesses access to the 400-million-person ECOWAS regional market.

The economy runs on oil, gold, cocoa, and a fast-growing services sector. The tech and fintech ecosystem is one of Africa’s most dynamic. And infrastructure, while still developing, has improved significantly over the past decade.

2. The Rules of the Game – Ghana’s Investment Laws

Before you invest a single dollar, it helps to know what legal framework governs your investment. Think of it like knowing the rules before you sit down to play.

Ghana’s investment environment is shaped by a stack of laws. The national constitution sits at the top, then a main investment law, then sector-specific rules depending on your industry. Here’s how they fit together.

The 1992 Constitution – Your Bedrock Protection

At the very top is Ghana’s Constitution. It matters to investors for one big reason: it protects property. Specifically, Article 20 says the government cannot simply take your business or assets without going through a legal process and paying you fair compensation. This is a constitutional right you can enforce in court.

The Main Investment Law – Act 865

The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Act, 2013 (commonly called “Act 865”) is the central law for foreign investment. It’s the rulebook that tells you what you’re allowed to invest in, how much money you need to bring, what protections you’re entitled to, and how to get registered. This Ghana foreign investment guide is largely built around Act 865.

3. The GIPC – Your First Port of Call

The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) is the government body that foreign investors deal with first. Think of it as a combination of a welcome desk, a registration office, and a referral service.

If your business has any foreign ownership at all, you must register with the GIPC. This is not optional. Operating without GIPC registration is a legal violation that can get your business shut down.

On the positive side, the GIPC is also there to help you. They can facilitate introductions to government agencies, help resolve disputes before they become legal battles, and provide market intelligence. Their website (www.gipcghana.com) is a genuinely useful starting point.

How Much Money Do You Need to Bring In?

Act 865 sets minimum capital thresholds. This is the minimum amount of money (or equipment) you need to have in your business depending on what type of investment you’re making.

What Can’t Foreigners Do in Ghana?

Some businesses are legally off-limits to foreigners. These are reserved exclusively for Ghanaian citizens. The full list under Act 865 includes:

• Selling goods in a market, petty trading, hawking, or selling from a stall
• Running a taxi or car hire company with fewer than 25 vehicles
• Operating beauty salons or barber shops
• Printing mobile phone recharge scratch cards
• Making exercise books and basic stationery
• Retail sale of finished pharmaceutical products (you can manufacture them, but not retail them)
• Production, supply, and retail of sachet (packaged) drinking water
• Running lotteries or betting pools (except football pools)

Outside of this list, most sectors are open to foreign investment, though some (especially oil and gas, mining, and construction) have local content rules that require meaningful Ghanaian participation in the business or supply chain.

4. Your Rights as an Investor

One of the most important things to understand before investing anywhere is what happens if something goes wrong. What rights do you actually have? Ghana’s laws give investors a solid set of protections. Here’s what they mean in plain English.

Protection Against Expropriation

The short version: the Ghanaian government cannot simply nationalize or seize your business. Both the Constitution and Act 865 say that if the government ever needs to acquire a private business for public purposes, it must:

• Have a legitimate public purpose
• Follow a proper legal process
• Pay prompt, fair, and adequate compensation
• Give you the right to challenge the acquisition and the compensation in court

In practice, Ghana has not pursued large-scale nationalization in modern times. The guardrails exist and they matter.

Repatriation Rights

Act 865, Section 28 guarantees your right to take money out of Ghana in a convertible currency (like US dollars or euros). Specifically, you’re legally entitled to send home:

• Your profits and dividends
• Technology licensing fees
• Your money if you sell or wind down the business (after paying taxes)
• Repayments and interest on any foreign loans
• Salaries for your foreign employees

Non-Discrimination

Ghana’s law says foreign investors must be treated no worse than Ghanaian investors in the same situation. You’re entitled to the same access to courts, the same legal protections, and the same government services. Many treaties also provide most-favoured-nation treatment, meaning you cannot be treated worse than investors from other treaty partner countries.

Protecting Your Ideas – Intellectual Property

Ghana has IP laws covering the main bases. If you’re bringing proprietary technology, a brand, software, or creative work into the country, here’s what protects you:

• Copyright (Act 690, 2005): Covers books, music, software, artistic works
• Patents (Act 657, 2003): 20-year protection for inventions, must be registered
• Trademarks (Act 664, 2004): Brand names and logos, must be registered at the Registrar General’s Department
• Industrial Designs (Act 660, 2003): Product aesthetics and appearance, must be registered

5. International Treaties – Extra Protection on Top

Beyond Ghana’s domestic laws, the country has treaties with other countries that can add an extra layer of legal protection. These matter because they may let you pursue international arbitration if disputes arise.

Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs)

Ghana has signed investment protection agreements with multiple countries. Treaty coverage and in-force status can change over time, so verify your exact treaty position before relying on it.

ECOWAS – The West African Regional Bloc

Ghana is a founding member of ECOWAS. ECOWAS investment rules can provide regional protections and support cross-border market access within the 15-country bloc.

Global Treaties That Matter

• ICSID: Ghana is a party to the ICSID Convention, which supports investor-state arbitration in qualifying cases.
• New York Convention: Ghana is a party, supporting enforcement of international arbitration awards through local courts.
• MIGA: Ghana is a member of the World Bank’s political risk insurance agency.
• AfCFTA: Ghana is a member of the African Continental Free Trade Area, progressively reducing trade barriers across Africa.

6. If Something Goes Wrong – Resolving Disputes

No one likes to think about disputes before they’ve even started investing. But knowing your options before you need them is useful.

Step 0: Get a Lawyer

Step 1: Try the GIPC First

If you have a dispute with a government agency or regulator, the GIPC has a mandate to help broker a resolution before things get formal. This can be the fastest path.

Step 2: Mediation or Arbitration in Ghana

Ghana has an ADR framework under the ADR Act, 2010 (Act 798). Commercial disputes can be resolved through mediation or arbitration without going through a full court process. The Ghana Arbitration Centre runs formal proceedings that can be enforceable.

Step 3: Ghana’s Courts

Ghana has a Commercial Court within the High Court system. Courts can be slow due to backlogs, but the judiciary is independent and outcomes are enforceable.

Step 4: International Arbitration

If your dispute involves the government and treaty protections apply, you may be able to pursue international arbitration. Common frameworks include:

• ICSID (World Bank group framework)
• UNCITRAL (widely used arbitration rules)
• ICC (international commercial arbitration)
• LCIA (often used in UK-connected agreements)

7. Taxes – What You’ll Pay and What You Might Save

Taxes in Ghana are administered by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). The system is fairly conventional, but sector-specific rates and incentives matter when you structure an investment.

The Main Tax Rates at a Glance

Tax Incentives – Where the Good Deals Are

Ghana has tax incentives designed to attract investment into certain areas and industries. Highlights include regional incentives, agriculture incentives, and Free Zones.

Invest Outside Accra and Tema – Pay Less Tax

If you locate your business in the north of the country (Northern, Upper East, or Upper West regions), you may qualify for a 50% reduction in corporate tax for a defined incentive period. Other regions outside Accra/Tema may qualify for a 25% reduction. Confirm current incentive details with a Ghanaian tax advisor.

Agriculture – Strong Tax Holidays

Agricultural businesses and agro-processing can qualify for exemptions for several years depending on activity type and location. If you’re in farming, food processing, or agricultural logistics, Ghana actively seeks investment in the sector.

Free Zones – The Premium Package

If you set up in a Free Zone and commit to exporting at least 70% of your output, incentives can include:

• Zero corporate tax for your first 10 years
• 15% corporate tax after that (vs. 25% standard)
• No import duties on qualifying raw materials, machinery, or equipment
• Possible reliefs on withholding taxes in qualifying cases
• Right to repatriate profits and capital subject to compliance and banking procedures

Double Taxation Agreements – Don’t Get Taxed Twice

If Ghana and your home country have a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA), your income may not be taxed twice. Ghana has treaties in force with multiple countries. Always confirm the current list and treaty text for withholding rates and definitions.

Ghana has also signed some treaties that may not yet be ratified or fully in force, and it negotiates additional treaties over time. Confirm current status before relying on any DTA in structuring.

8. Hiring People – Labour Law Basics

Ghana’s Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651) is the main law governing employment. Here are the things investors most often need to know.

Key Employee Rights

• Working hours: Standard is 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week. Overtime must be compensated.
• Annual leave: Minimum 15 working days after a full year of service.
• Maternity leave: 12 weeks paid maternity leave.
• Notice for termination: Typically 1 month’s notice (or payment in lieu). Unfair dismissal can be challenged at the National Labour Commission.

Pensions – The Three-Tier System

Ghana has a mandatory three-tier pension system under the National Pensions Act, 2008 (Act 766). As an employer, you contribute to the first two tiers for every employee:

• Tier 1 – SSNIT (state pension): Employer 13% of basic salary; employee 5.5%. Total 18.5%.
• Tier 2 – Occupational pension (privately managed): Employer 5% of basic salary.
• Tier 3 – Voluntary: Optional additional private savings.

As an employer, your total mandatory pension contribution is 18% of each employee’s basic salary (13% + 5%). This is separate from income tax (PAYE), which you also withhold and remit. Both SSNIT and Tier 2 contributions are typically due by the 14th of the following month.

Hiring Foreign Staff – Expatriate Quotas

You can hire foreign nationals, but limits can apply based on capital invested. The GIPC Act sets automatic quotas often referenced as:

If you need more foreign staff than your quota allows, you can apply to the GIPC for additional slots, but you’ll need to justify why a Ghanaian cannot fill the role. Free Zone businesses can have different staffing rules but are generally expected to support skills transfer and local training.

9. Land – The Most Complex Part

Land is where many investors run into problems in Ghana. The rules are different from many Western countries, and due diligence matters. Read this section carefully.

The Big Rule: Foreigners Cannot Own Land Freehold

The 1992 Constitution provides that non-Ghanaians cannot hold freehold interests in land. Instead, foreigners typically use leasehold interests.

In many cases, a non-Ghanaian can lease land for up to 50 years. This can be enough to build and operate a substantial business, but it is not the same as owning the underlying land.

Who Owns the Land?

Ghana has four main types of land ownership, and which type you’re dealing with affects how you negotiate for a lease:

The Due Diligence You Must Do

Before you sign anything relating to land in Ghana, do all of the following:

• Commission a formal title search at the Lands Commission to verify who legally owns the land
• Check for encumbrances such as mortgages, other leases, and court orders
• Confirm customary consents are in place (especially for Stool/Skin land)
• Ensure the Lands Commission registers and approves your lease
• Hire a qualified Ghanaian solicitor who specializes in land transactions

10. Setting Up Your Company

Ghana’s company registration process has been modernized and is mostly done online now. Here’s what your options are and how the process works.

Which Company Structure Should You Use?

Step-by-Step: How to Register

Staying Compliant — What You Need to Do Every Year

Once you’re up and running, here are your ongoing legal obligations:

• Annual company returns — file with the Registrar General’s Department (28 days after your AGM)
• Corporate tax return — due 4 months after your financial year-end (April 30 for calendar-year companies)
• Quarterly estimated tax payments — due at end of months 3, 6, 9, and 12 of your accounting year
• PAYE — withhold and remit employee income tax by the 15th of each following month
• VAT returns — file and pay by the last working day of each following month (if VAT-registered)
• SSNIT contributions — remit both Tier 1 and Tier 2 pension contributions by the 14th of each following month
• Annual GIPC investment report — due 31 March each year
• Audited financial statements — must be prepared and filed within 6 months of year-end

11. Banking, Currency, and Getting Your Money Out

Managing your money across currencies is one of the most practical challenges of investing in Ghana. Here’s what you need to know.

The Ghana Cedi – Managing Currency Risk

The Ghana Cedi (GHS) has historically depreciated significantly against major currencies like the US dollar and euro. This is a real risk for investors whose revenues are in Cedi but whose obligations or return expectations are in hard currency. It’s not a reason to avoid Ghana – but it needs to be planned for.

Practical strategies investors use:

• Price your contracts in hard currency (USD, EUR, GBP) wherever commercially possible
• Maintain a foreign currency account at an authorised Ghanaian bank to hold earnings between transactions
• Use forward exchange contracts (available from Ghanaian commercial banks) to lock in rates on known future payments
• Structure your financing so that the currency of your debt matches the currency of your revenues
• Consider political risk insurance from MIGA that covers currency inconvertibility

Opening a Bank Account

Every business must have a corporate bank account at an authorised Ghanaian bank. To open one, you’ll typically need:

• Certificate of Incorporation
• GIPC Registration Certificate
• Board Resolution naming authorised signatories
• Passports for all directors and signatories
• Proof of your registered office address
• Tax Identification Number
• Source of funds declaration (AML requirement)
• Brief business plan or description of what the company does

Major banks serving corporate and international clients include: Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB), Ecobank Ghana, Standard Chartered, Stanbic Bank, Absa Bank, Societe Generale, and CalBank. Processing time is typically 5-10 days once all documents are in order.

The Rules Around Moving Money

The Foreign Exchange Act, 2006 (Act 723) governs cross-border money flows. The headline rules are:

• Paying for imports, services, or sending dividends overseas: fully allowed – no restrictions for current account transactions
• Bringing in and taking out equity investments, loan repayments, and sale proceeds: allowed, but must go through an authorised dealer bank, and large transactions require Bank of Ghana reporting
• Exporters: must bring export earnings back into Ghana within 60 days of shipment

12. Environmental Rules and Community Relations

If your investment has any physical footprint – a factory, a mine, a farm, a construction project – you’ll need to engage with Ghana’s environmental framework. This isn’t just a legal box to tick; getting it wrong can halt your project entirely.

The Environmental Permit Process

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is Ghana’s environmental regulator. For most significant investment projects, you’ll need an Environmental Permit – and getting one requires going through an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. Here’s how it works:

Community Relations – The Social License

Beyond the legal requirements, investors in sectors like mining, oil & gas, and large-scale agriculture need to actively manage their relationships with the communities around their projects. Ghana’s communities – and increasingly Ghana’s regulators – expect this.

Investors who get this right tend to sign Community Development Agreements with local communities, offer local employment preferences, and set up transparent benefit-sharing arrangements. Those who don’t tend to face protests, delays, and political pressure that can derail projects entirely.

13. Anti-Corruption – What You Need to Know

Ghana has a real anti-corruption framework, and the consequences for violations – including for foreign investors – are serious. This section matters whether you’re from a country with its own anti-bribery laws (like the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or the UK Bribery Act) or not.

Ghana’s Own Anti-Corruption Bodies

• Office of the Special Prosecutor (Act 959, 2017): An independent prosecutor specifically for corruption. If there’s credible evidence of bribery or corrupt dealings in your Ghana operations, this office can investigate and prosecute.
• CHRAJ (Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice): Investigates abuses of power and corruption by public officials. Can refer cases for prosecution.
• Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC): Receives reports of suspicious financial transactions and coordinates with law enforcement.

Money Laundering Rules – What Businesses Must Do

If your business is in financial services, real estate, legal or accounting services, precious metals, or a few other categories, you’re a “Designated Non-Financial Business” (DNFB) and the Anti-Money Laundering Act imposes specific obligations on you:

• Know Your Customer (KYC): Verify the identity of clients and understand the nature of their business before entering into a relationship
• Keep records: Maintain customer files and transaction records for at least 7 years
• Report suspicious transactions: File Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) with the Financial Intelligence Centre if something doesn’t add up
• Disclose beneficial owners: Know who ultimately owns and controls any corporate client

Practical Advice

• Write a clear anti-corruption policy and make sure every employee reads and signs it
• Do proper background checks on any Ghanaian partner, agent, or intermediary before you engage them
• Keep your books transparent and in line with international accounting standards (IFRS)
• If a government official asks for anything that isn’t clearly part of an official process, say no and document it
• Engage a Ghanaian lawyer who specialises in compliance – it’s significantly cheaper than the alternative

14. Mergers, Acquisitions, and Competition Rules

Ghana doesn’t yet have a single comprehensive competition law with a dedicated competition authority – that legislation has been in development for years. But there are still meaningful rules that affect mergers and acquisitions, particularly in regulated sectors.

Sector-Specific Approval Requirements for M&A

If you’re buying into a business in a regulated industry, you’ll need sector regulator approval for the ownership change:

The GIPC Rule for Share Transfers

Any change in a GIPC-registered company’s shareholder structure that affects foreign equity participation must be reported to – and approved by – the GIPC. This includes a Ghanaian selling their shares to a foreigner, a foreigner selling to another foreigner, or any restructuring that changes the ultimate beneficial ownership.

15. When Things Don’t Go to Plan – Restructuring and Exit

It’s not pleasant to think about before you start, but knowing your options if an investment struggles – or if you want to exit – is part of mature investment planning.

Options If the Business Is in Trouble

• Voluntary Arrangement: You propose a deal with creditors – maybe to pay back a percentage of debt over time – supervised by an insolvency professional. No court required. This is the least disruptive option.
• Administration: An administrator takes over management of the business to try to rescue it or achieve the best possible outcome for creditors. Can be initiated by the company, its directors, or a secured creditor.
• Scheme of Arrangement: A court-approved restructuring between the company and its creditors. Used for complex, large-scale restructurings.

Winding Up the Company

• Members’ Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent, shareholders agree to close, a liquidator is appointed to tidy everything up. Straightforward for businesses with no creditor issues.
• Creditors’ Voluntary Winding Up: The company can’t pay its debts. Creditors get a major say in who handles the liquidation.
• Court-Ordered Winding Up: A court orders the company wound up – usually on petition from a creditor. An Official Liquidator is appointed.

Who Gets Paid First When a Company Winds Up?

The law sets out a strict order of priority:

1. Costs of the winding-up process itself (liquidator fees, legal costs)
2. Employee wages and pension contributions owed
3. Secured creditors (lenders with a charge over assets)
4. Unsecured creditors (suppliers, contractors, etc.) – sharing what’s left proportionally
5. Shareholders – only if there’s anything left after all creditors are paid

Exiting a Successful Investment

• Sell your shares to a new investor (requires GIPC notification and may need sector regulator approval)
• Sell to your Ghanaian joint venture partner
• List on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) or the Ghana Alternative Market (GAX) for smaller companies
• Management buyout – sell to your local management team

16. The Digital Economy and Fintech

Ghana’s digital economy is one of the most exciting in Africa. Mobile phone penetration is over 130%, internet access is growing fast, and the country launched full mobile money interoperability between platforms and banks in 2018 – one of the first countries in the world to do so. If you’re in tech, fintech, e-commerce, or digital services, Ghana should be on your radar.

Fintech Licensing – Who Regulates What

The Regulatory Sandbox

If you have an innovative fintech product and you’re not sure which licence category you fall into – or you want to test the market before committing to full regulatory compliance – the Bank of Ghana operates a regulatory sandbox. You apply to run your product in a controlled environment for a defined period. This is a genuine commitment from the regulator to support innovation, not a runaround.

Other Digital Opportunities

• Data centres: Growing demand for cloud and co-location services; government incentives available
• Business Process Outsourcing (BPO): Ghana is an established destination for English-language BPO to Europe and North America
• AgriTech: Massive unmet demand for digital solutions in farming, supply chain, and market access
• HealthTech: Digital health, telemedicine, and health records digitization are priority government areas
• E-commerce: Fast-growing market; last-mile logistics is a significant investment gap

17. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)

If you’re interested in infrastructure, public services, or large-scale development projects, Ghana’s PPP framework is worth understanding. The Public Private Partnership Act, 2020 (Act 1039) sets out a clear process for how the government partners with private investors to deliver public infrastructure.

What Kind of Projects Use PPPs?

The Unsolicited Proposal Option

You don’t have to wait for the government to announce a project. Act 1039 allows private investors to bring ideas to the government directly. An unsolicited PPP proposal must show the project isn’t already being procured, and must come with a detailed feasibility study. If the government likes it, your proposal goes through a competitive challenge (called a Swiss Challenge), where other parties can bid – but you, as the originator, typically get the right to match the best competing bid.

18. Customs and Importing Your Equipment

If your investment involves bringing equipment, machinery, or raw materials into Ghana, here’s what you need to know about duties and how to minimise them.

Ghana’s Duty System

Ghana uses the ECOWAS Common External Tariff (CET), which puts goods into five bands:

How to Reduce Your Import Costs

• GIPC-registered businesses can apply for duty exemptions on plant, machinery, and equipment – apply through the GIPC
• Free Zone businesses pay zero import duties on everything used in their operations – full stop
• Agricultural machinery often qualifies for 0% duty under the ECOWAS CET
• Mining and petroleum companies can access duty relief under their respective sector legislation

Exporting from Ghana

Ghana actively wants to help you export. Key programs:

• Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA): Market intelligence, trade fair support, and export development services
• AfCFTA: Preferential market access to 54 African countries as tariffs progressively reduce
• AGOA: Duty-free access to the US market for qualifying Ghanaian goods under the African Growth and Opportunity Act
• EU Economic Partnership Agreement: Preferential access for Ghanaian goods to the European market

19. Risks – Honest Assessment

Ghana is genuinely one of the better investment environments in Africa. But no investment is without risk. Here’s an honest look at what you’re dealing with and how to handle it.
