Products to sell in Ghana with small capital: 20 ideas and how to test them for a few cedis

6 min readUpdated 19 September 2026

The products that sell fastest in Ghana with small capital are everyday things people rebuy - kitchenware, phone accessories, beauty and hair, baby items, home basics - bought at the factory price and sold at market or online prices. The mistake is buying a carton of something you haven't sold yet. Test first: on Atrady Business, under 10 pieces buys like a sample, so you can order a few pieces of five different products, sell them, and put your money into the ones that moved.

Twenty categories that move

Grouped by who buys them. Every one is available to order from 1 piece to a carton, so the list doubles as a test plan.

Kitchen & dining: non-stick pans, dinner plate sets, food flasks and lunch boxes, blenders.
Home & living: bedsheet sets, storage boxes and organisers, LED and rechargeable lamps, curtains.
Phones & accessories: chargers and cables, earbuds, phone cases, power banks, phone holders.
Beauty & personal care: hair tools (straighteners, dryers), wigs and hair accessories, skincare tools, nail supplies.
Fashion & bags: ladies' handbags, sandals and slides, sunglasses, watches.
Baby & kids: feeding bottles and bibs, baby carriers, educational toys, kids' shoes.
Health & wellness: digital scales, massage tools, water bottles, fitness bands.
Business & packaging: shopping bags, food packaging, price tags and labels - sold to other traders.

What makes a good first product

People rebuy it, or buy it as a gift - demand doesn't depend on one season.
It's light and small: shipping is a small share of the price, and air is affordable if you need to restock fast.
The gap between the factory price per unit and the going market or Instagram price covers shipping, your time and a margin.
It doesn't break: glass and screens cost more to pack and more to replace.
You can photograph it well on a phone - most first sales in Ghana happen on WhatsApp status, Instagram and TikTok.

How to test five products for the price of one carton

Pick five products from the list that you'd personally buy. Open each on Atrady Business and note the price for a few pieces, the 10+ price and the carton price per unit.
Order 2-5 pieces of each - under 10 buys like a sample. Choose air if you want them in about 2 weeks, sea if you can wait about 2 months for a lower fee.
When they land, photograph them, post at your intended selling price, and count how many days each takes to sell out.
Reorder the winners at 10 or more - the price per unit drops - and the best one by the carton, which is the lowest price per unit. Keep the carton at Atrady's warehouse and take deliveries as you sell.
Drop the losers. Five samples cost far less than one carton of the wrong thing.

Pricing your product

Start from the landed cost - the per-unit price at the quantity you bought plus its shipping fee, both shown on the product - and check what the same thing sells for at the market and on Instagram. If the market price doesn't leave room after shipping and your time, move on; the catalog is big.

Ready when you are

Every product on Atrady Business shows its price for a few pieces, for 10 or more and for a carton - and the sea and air fee - before you pay.
