It is through this main industries we brought out the most profitable business and Money making ideas in Ghana.

We had to do a lot of research to come up with this list of profitable business ideas in
Ghana. I bet to let you know that, these business ideas when carefully practiced as I’ve explained below can seriously change your financial and business life.

Are you thinking of starting a business in Ghana? There are many types of businesses one can think of, from import and export to sale of mobile phones and offering professional services. 

But while all businesses do fetch some profit, there are some that are more profitable than others, Such businesses do not even bother about economic crisis; they continue making more money even as the ceedes falls against the dollar.

Requirement for Doing Business in Ghana

Before you begin to go full venture into business, there are certain disciplines you should train yourself with. Among them are:

1. Your Financial Intelligence

Financial discipline among others is a key principle that is not thought in schools. The majority of those who really know it got that gift from their families. You need to have a sound financial management else you will fail in business. It’s a fact.

2. Quality Business Plan

It’s sad how most businesses startup without a business plan. What they don’t know they’re missing. A good business plan can open up all the opportunities that are available for your
idea. 

It does more than just become a written document. A business plan can even tell you whether to really pursue an
idea or quit it. 

All you need is a good business plan template like the one in the just mentioned link and you are good to go.

3. Good People Management
(Human Resource Management)

It is very unreal to start a business all alone and expect a bigger success than with a few people. 

No matter how your idea is, you need a few, if not more people to be involved directly or indirectly. 

Because of that, you need to know how to easily interact with people and get them to like both yourself and your business idea. 

This is very important because if no one buys into your idea or appreciates who you are, you’d be left alone struggling in the
mud. Now, it’s your responsibility to go fishing for the right team that can skyrocket your business growth.

4. Your Personality

Two people can start the same type of business at the same time, with the same amount of resources. 

At the end of a specific period of time, one would outgrow the other; definitely. That is when personality comes in. No two
people are the same in this world.

There are no two ways about that. What kind of personality have you developed or developing for yourself in the business world? Most great businessmen and women are born with gifts for business. 

They know how to get along with their business for big profits. If you are one, you’ll understand. If you are not, you’ll need to train yourself, learn more, do more research and you’d get there.

Top 40+ List Of Profitable Business Opportunities And Money Making Ideas In Ghana.


1. Blogging (Internet Business)

This is first on my list of the profitable business ideas I want to talk about.
Blogging is not for everyone. But if it may be for you, just like any other internet business, I urge you to go into it. 

Comparing the Ghana Ceedes to the
dollar which is increasing on a daily basis you can make a lot of profit from Google AdSense. 

If the dollar is now 350naira as at the time of writing this article, any amount you make in dollars is four times your currency.

You determine how much you make by how smart and hard you work. This is seriously a very rewarding business. Startup capital required: Low.

2. Banking

Banking is a very profitable business anywhere in the world including Ghana.

I strongly believe that the banking system is making more than enough from the entire human race. Check out how banks create money from this link. It requires a lot of investment but it pays off in the end. Usually, it is best to start in the small towns and villages. Startup capital required: High.

3. Agriculture

Agriculture is wrongly practiced and perceived by most Ghanaians. They have been made to believe from childhood that farming is for poor people. 

This is because, a majority of the farmers in
the country practice peasant farming – farming to feed their family only.

Meanwhile farming when done on a
large scale with the right methods can bring more profits than you can expect.

Don’t forget that the more you invest in a particular business, the higher the profit margin. If you have the interest in farming, I’d advise that you pursue it, and on a large scale be it plantation, poultry, livestock, vegetable or fish farming. Startup capital required: Medium to High.

4. Education

Starting your own school may be quite difficult but a good step to financial freedom. 

This business is more of having a solid brand, providing quality, service and having a good
management skill set. If you can really look after people’s kids well, I can assure you that you’d go into this and succeed. 

Though the beginning may be a bit difficult if you lack some startup capital, I still urge you to start. You can do it. I believe that there is no mountain so big for man. Whatever you dream of, you can accomplish it. Startup capital required: Medium.

5. Become A Film Maker

If you are a creative person with a passion to produce and turn scripts into ad films, you can offer ad film-making services in Ghana.

6. Open A Comedy Club

In a survey conducted by an online doctor consultation platform namely Lybrate, it was
revealed that around 31% of working professionals suffer from worst stress in Ghana as a result of long work hours, tight deadlines, missing targets,

Given the facts brought forth by the study, it is evident that these stress affected people need strong doses of entertainment. You can provide them that while opening a comedy club provided you are emotionally intelligent.
