Why Ghana Attracts Foreign and Diaspora Investment
Ghana has become a preferred destination for foreign direct investment and diaspora-led businesses due to its stable democracy, predictable legal framework, and access to regional markets. Many Pan-African companies use Ghana as a gateway into ECOWAS and the wider African market.
While the opportunities are significant, foreign investors must navigate local laws on company registration, land ownership, immigration, taxation, and regulatory compliance. Legal guidance at the entry stage is essential to protect capital and avoid disputes.
Our Services for Foreign Investors and Diaspora Clients
We assist foreign investors and diaspora clients to register companies in Ghana, including:
Wholly foreign-owned companies
Joint ventures with Ghanaian partners
Subsidiaries and external companies
Our services cover name reservation, incorporation, tax registration, SSNIT registration, and GIPC compliance. We also advise on minimum capital requirements and appropriate ownership structures for foreign-owned companies.
Real estate investment is one of the most common forms of diaspora and foreign investment in Ghana. Foreigners can legally acquire property on leasehold terms, but land disputes, double sales, and unregistered interests remain common risks.

Drafting and reviewing sale and lease agreements
Registering land interests
Preventing fraud through legal due diligence
