The Office of the Registrar of Companies (ORC) in Ghana has announced plans to strike off 453 companies from the national register and dissolve an additional 323 entities. These actions, outlined in separate notices under the Companies Act 2019, represent part of the mandatory process to maintain an accurate record of registered businesses.
On November 4, 2026, the ORC released a statement detailing the forthcoming removal of 453 companies under Section 289(3) of the Act. These companies were given three months' notice, with their names published in the ORC Companies Bulletin, Volume 48, on October 15, 2026. Under the law, these businesses will be officially removed from the register if no valid objection is raised within the three-month period.
In a related development, 323 companies have already been dissolved due to the expiration of their notice period. These companies, whose names were also published in Volume 40 of the ORC Companies Bulletin, saw their dissolution confirmed in Volume 49 of the bulletin, dated October 15, 2026. The decision to dissolve these companies was based on the lack of presented cause against their removal, as stipulated under Section 289(5) of the Companies Act.
