Business culture in Ghana is characterized by a formal and respectful approach. It is important to dress professionally, maintain your appearance and be on time for business meetings. When communicating with business partners, one should use formal titles and show respect for their status and position. Exchanging business cards is considered a good tone in a business environment.

An important part of Ghana's business culture is to make small talk and establish good relations before getting down to business. This helps to build trust and strengthen business relationships.

In terms of transportation, cabs are readily available in major cities. It is important to negotiate the cost of the ride in advance and get recommendations from locals or the hotel beforehand. Also, some companies and hotels offer shuttle services, which can be more convenient and safer options.

Although English is the official language of communication in Ghana, many Ghanaians also speak local languages such as Twi, Ga or Ewe. Trying to learn and use a few phrases in the local language will be appreciated and will help understanding with local business partners.

In general, respecting the culture and local customs during business meetings and interactions is the foundation for success in the Ghanaian business environment. Being considerate, tolerant and showing respect for local norms and values will help to establish productive relationships and achieve success in the Ghanaian business environment.
