The OARG is a highly strategic partner to the business community and other stakeholders and is mandated to ensure an efficient and effective administration and registration of entities such as business, land, industrial property, marriages, and estates of deceased persons as mandated by law. It is a catalyst for the creation of an enabling environment for doing business in Sierra Leone. Due to legislative and institutional reforms implemented by the Government with the assistance of the World Bank through the Investment Finance Community (IFC), and the Investment Climate Facility for Africa (ICF), Sierra Leone has tremendously reduced the processes for the start of a business, and has created a One- Stop-Shop housing the OARG, National Revenue Authority, and the Freetown City Council, in the process of automating all its records. It has rehabilitated, refurbished, and equipped its Freetown Office and established three offices in the provincial towns, thus affording accessibility in the delivery of our services nationwide.
