    Fixed for the service you choose, and shown before you enter any details. This is what we earn.

  • Professional feePaid to a partner firm

    Only where the law needs a licensed professional, such as a commissioner for oaths or a lawyer.

Priority handling

Priority adds 40% to the GHBusinessDesk service fee and gives your file a faster GHBusinessDesk service level. For a company: GHS 1,800 + GHS 720 = GHS 2,520. It does not change how long the authority takes. Any express service the authority itself sells is passed through at cost as a government fee, only if you choose it.

About government fees

Government fees follow the ORC schedule effective 2 Feb 2026. They are indicative and verified against the current schedule at checkout. Where a fee is shown as “per schedule”, the exact amount is confirmed before you pay.

What a checkout looks like.

A company limited by shares, formed in Ghana. This is rendered from the same fee schedule we charge from, so it cannot drift from the real price.
