Processing
The
business
registration
software
used
by
the

at
the
front
office
allowing
the
department
to
create
a
database
to
electronically
store
information
on
all
categories
of
business

The
RGD
has
also
invited
tenders
for
the
purchase
of
scanners
and
appropriate
software
for
capturing
data
directly
from
forms
into
the
registration
database.

Decentralise
Business
Registration
Processes
The
Department
has
also
started
a
process
of
decentralizing
its
operation
by
opening
offices
in
Kumasi,
Takoradi
and
Tamale.
The
Takoradi
and
Kumasi
offices
are
operational.
The
registration
process
is
done
in
Accra
and
documents
returned
to
the
offices
for
distribution.
The
Northern
Regional
Administration
has
given
a
block
of
four
(4)
offices
to
RGD
which
is
currently
undergoing
rehabilitation.
The
RGD
is
also
using
the
services
of
post
offices
nationwide
to
deliver
business
registration
services.
Registration
forms
can
be
purchased,
filled
and
submitted
to
the
post
offices
to
be
forwarded
to
the
RGD
where
they
are
processed.
The
RGD
would
then
send
the
certificates
to
the
post
offices
for
distribution.
