The Office of the Registrar of Companies (ORC), led by the Registrar, Mrs. Maame Samma Peprah, Esq., has paid a courtesy call on Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang at the Office of the Vice President in Accra.
The meeting, held on Thursday, July 16, 2026, formed part of efforts to strengthen collaboration aimed at deepening business formalisation and expanding company registration across the country.
The visit provided an opportunity for the Registrar to brief the Vice President on the Office’s mandate, ongoing reforms, and strategic initiatives designed to bring business registration services closer to citizens and investors.
Mrs. Peprah highlighted the ORC’s nationwide business registration and public sensitisation clinics, which are being rolled out to promote the formalisation of businesses, particularly those operating in the informal sector.
According to her, the initiative seeks to improve access to registration services, educate entrepreneurs on the benefits of formalising their businesses, and enhance compliance with Ghana’s business registration laws.
She reaffirmed the Office’s commitment to supporting the Government’s reset agenda by creating a more inclusive, transparent, and vibrant business environment through improved access to business registration services nationwide.

She encouraged the Office to continue implementing measures that simplify business registration processes and make its services more accessible to entrepreneurs across the country.
The Vice President also urged the ORC to strengthen its public communication and stakeholder engagement by consistently highlighting its achievements, reforms, and outreach activities.
She noted that keeping the public well informed about the Office’s work would boost public confidence, encourage voluntary compliance with business registration requirements, and enable more entrepreneurs to benefit from its services.
