Hi there,
There are so many things you can do in ghana with 150.000USD. It all depends on the kind of business you like. Maybe you would like to have a food shop or own a restaurant, or produce so something. Please chose an idea and I will try to see if I can give you some piece of advice.
Best,
Daniel

I also suggest you visit Ghana and look around and see where there are gaps that you think you can fill. I am sure there are a lot of opportunities for you to do business here.
good luck

There are investment opportunities in areas such as:
1. Fish farming
2. Real estate
3. Food joints/ restaurants
4. Transportation
5. Oil & Gas ( Service Stations)
6. Establishing Grade School
7. Business process outsourcing

Will be best if you let me know a bit of your background and experience. That will be helpful in providing guidance.

Hi > just to inform you that this is an old topic [2012]. Thank you

hi,
my name is Huseyin.
Ghanaian people are very friendly and hospitality.
i see that you have been in many countries like me.
i want next year go for set up my own business.
i design and make fashion jewellry and want open a shop in Accra.
i want start a small business with less capital.
your capital with 150.000 usd is in Ghana a medium capital.
i work in my country as guide and translator and i can speak english,
german,turkish and medium russian.
i think for you is the best invest your capital in tourism.
you have been in many countries and i think ,if you only invite them
to Ghana then they will come.
you know the food culture from this people and their  language.
this is agreat  advantage.
my dream was open a restaurant with 10 wood bungalows
near sea,river or lake.
in Ghana is very quality wood that you can let  build this wood bungalows and
restaurant to best prices.
if you are interested please don't hesitate to e-mail me for more information.
i can send you also a business plan and some models from this wood
bungalows.
before i forget, best is start your business with a LTD. in Ghana.
i made many research about business in Ghana and find that set up a company is the best way for residence permit and working permit.
you can buy later also a vehicle on your company and save cost.
for rent a shop or flat  Ghanaian people want a contact for 2-5 years
and payment in cash.
i can can help you how you behave.
if you have a dream or special wish in what for business you want work
thats the best way to find out where you want invest.
please be carefull in Ghana, if some people want do with you some gold,mining and oil business.
if you do this than you would lost all your money.
please don't hesitate to ask me,if you have questions.

kind regards,

Huseyin

How can we start small business there

Look at the GIPC website where you will find all the information about starting a business in Ghana

Thanks i will look in to it. Please can you tell me about the company registration and work permit cost and how long it will take to get it

Regards

Not sure about the length of time for registration but a work permit takes up to two months.
If you look on accraexpat.com on the home page and the how to section you will find lots of good advice
