The Office of the Registrar of Companies (ORC) has successfully restored its software application system, which had been temporarily offline since September 25, 2023.

This development follows the ORC's previous announcement regarding the temporary shutdown of the system, which is primarily used for facilitating, upgrading, and registering businesses due to technical difficulties.

In a statement released by the ORC and shared with GhanaWeb Business on September 29, it was confirmed that "the system has now been fully restored, and the Office has resumed all of its services as of today, September 29, 2023."

The ORC expressed gratitude to its clients and stakeholders for their patience and reaffirmed its commitment to being a reliable business partner in Ghana.

The ORC, a statutory entity derived from the Registrar-General’s Department, is entrusted with the vital responsibilities of company and business registration, as well as providing advisory services.

As an autonomous body, the ORC handles the registration of various types of businesses, including private and public companies limited by shares, private and public companies limited by guarantee (including churches, schools, NGOs, CSOs, associations, unions), external companies, and professional bodies.
