Register a Company Limited by Guarantee in Ghana
A Company Limited by Guarantee (LBG) is the standard legal structure for non-profit organisations, NGOs, foundations, associations, and clubs in Ghana. Instead of shareholders and share capital, it is governed by an Executive Council or Board of Directors, and all income generated is reinvested solely to advance the organisation’s stated mission.
BizAccess handles your entire LBG incorporation with the Office of the Registrar of Companies (ORC). We conduct your name search and reservation, draft your organisation’s constitution, coordinate TIN registration for your council members and officers, and file all statutory incorporation forms so your organisation is registered accurately without visiting government offices.
Requirements:
- Ghana Card / Passport of Executive Council / Board Members.
- TIN of all Council Members, Subscribers, and Secretary.
- Proposed NGO or Organization name.
- Constitution outlining organizational objectives and governance.
- Registered office address with digital address (GPS).
- Executive roles and designations.
Benefits of Registering a Company Limited by Guarantee
Limited Personal Liability
Executive council members and subscribers are legally protected from the organisation's debts beyond a small, predetermined guarantee amount.
Built for Non-Profit Missions
Legally structured to ensure all surplus income, donations, and grants are applied strictly toward achieving your charitable, social, or professional objectives.
Access to Grants & Donor Funding
Provides the formal legal standing required by international donors, embassies, corporate sponsors, and philanthropic foundations before disbursing funds.
Clear Governance Structure
Operates under a formal Executive Council or Board of Directors and a company secretary, giving donors and partners confidence in your financial accountability.
Independent Legal Existence
The organisation can open bank accounts, lease property, hire staff, and sign contracts in its own name, continuing seamlessly even as board members change.
Foundation for NGO & Tax-Exempt Status
Serves as the mandatory legal prerequisite for registering as an NGO with the Department of Social Welfare and applying for tax exemptions with the GRA.

We appreciate services rendered by RGD, my concern is for at least a pdf format be readily available to us even before the hard copy is printed so we can use it for our various day to day businesses.
