The Bahamas Corporate Structures
The Bahamas offers offshore structures like International Business Companies (IBCs), Exempted Limited Partnerships, and Trusts, providing tax exemptions, strong privacy, asset protection, and flexible regulations for global business, wealth management, and investment.
Setting up the most popular one, an IBC is simple and quick. It has no local taxation on income and dividends.
Bahamas IBC Company Essentials
The Act allows a variety of entities, including exempted firms, to conduct business abroad. Company incorporation requirements include filing a memorandum and articles of association. The Directors and shareholders are exempt from local residency requirements.
Create the company's memorandum and articles of association. These documents describe the IBC's structure and operational guidelines. To form a Bahamas company, start by choosing a unique name and selecting a business structure, such as an IBC.
Appoint a registered agent and office, then prepare and file incorporation documents. Designate at least one director and shareholder, pay the required registration fees, and ensure compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws while maintaining records.
Typically, the incorporation procedure takes three to five business days. An IBC does not need local directors or shareholders. Company meetings can take place anywhere in the world, providing flexibility. Privacy is prioritized, with little publicly available information on the proprietors.
An IBC cannot conduct business with Bahamas residents. However, it is capable of engaging in international trade, investment, and holding operations. It is exempt from income, capital gains, and withholding taxes.
Why Set Up an IBC in the Bahamas?
The Bahamas provides stability, favourable laws, and financial security to enterprises. Establishing an IBC here improves worldwide corporate operations while successfully protecting wealth. IBCs benefit from tax neutrality, robust legal frameworks, and international recognition.
