Bahamas company formation is a tax-efficient way for entrepreneurs to conduct international business. The following information will help you determine whether Bahamas company formation is the optimum corporate structure to fulfil your international business objectives:

Advantages of Bahamas Company Registration

Bahamas company formation is the ideal corporate structure to use when conducting business in North America.

Bahamas company incorporation is cost-effective and fast. There are no minimum capital requirements for registering a company in the Bahamas.

A minimum of one shareholder and one director is required for Bahamas company formation. Directors are not required to be residents of the Bahamas. Corporate directors are permitted.

Bahamas company formation allows entrepreneurs to legitimately conduct international business without paying corporation tax. Bahamas is positively ranked as the world's 46th-freest economy in the Heritage Foundation's 2012 Index of Economic Freedom, a measure of freedom enjoyed in business, trade, monetary, financial, investment and labour markets.

Following Bahamas company incorporation, directors and shareholders details are not available for public viewing.

Following Bahamas company formation, neither an annual return nor an audit is required, unless specified in the company's Articles of Association.

Under the Bahamas International Business Companies Act, a Bahamas company requires a registered office; however, it is not required to have a physical presence in The Bahamas. Healy Consultants offers virtual office services in the Bahamas to support company formation.

It is easy to open global corporate bank accounts to support Bahamas company formation. Healy Consultants works with internationally recognised banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered and Citibank to provide corporate bank account services.

Disadvantages of Bahamas Company Registration

Bahamas company incorporation has a negative stigma since the Bahamas is perceived as an offshore tax-haven.

The Bahamas is committing to following the internationally recognised tax guidelines of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and has signed 10 tax information exchange agreements (TIEAs) with countries, including France, New Zealand, China, the United Kingdom and the United States.
