BUSINESSES TO BE REGISTERED AT REGIONAL LEVEL (PAGE 20)

PLANS are far advanced to facilitate the registration of businesses at the regional level through the Business Advisory Centre (BAC) of the National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI) in collaboration with the Registrar-General’s Department.
The Ho Municipal Manager of BAC, Mr Charles Dartey, disclosed that negotiations had been completed and that when operational, it would enhance business posture in the regions.
Mr Dartey, who was speaking to the Daily Graphic in an interview, said the existing process was plagued with inexplicable delays in the registration of businesses in Accra, adding that it took not less than three months to register a business outside the region.
He emphasised that decentralisation in the registration of companies would encourage more people to register their businesses and access loans from financial institutions.
Mr Dartey said a registered business provided legitimate identity and established legality and confidence.
