FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my company need local directors or shareholders in the Bahamas?

There is no need to have local directors or shareholders to form your offshore company in the Bahamas. A company must have at least one director, but it can be yourself, irrespective of your country of citizenship, origin, or residence. The Bahamas welcome foreign investors; therefore, the company formation is flexible for any nationality. This means that you can establish a Bahamas company with directors and shareholders who are not residents of Bahamas.

You can use Vepapu's Nominee Director and/or Nominee Shareholder services to hide your identity in your company formation documents as well.

Does my information be displayed publicly by the Bahamas government?

The Bahamas is known for having regulations that provide a level of privacy for company directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners. Thanks to the regulations and system of the Bahamas, your information will be kept confidential and not publicly disclosed. It is totally confidential. The Bahamas’ International Business Companies (IBC) Act of 1990 avoids sharing information about its companies with any other countries.

The company's register of directors and shareholders must be kept at the registered address, but does not need to file with the Registrar, and thus the information is not available to the general public.

Is a physical office in the Bahamas mandatory for incorporation?

A registered address in the Bahamas is required to form a company. It is mandatory to incorporate a company in the Bahamas. It is a legal requirement and without it, we cannot proceed to file the documents with the registrar for your company's incorporation.

But Vepapu is already covering this service for you, which means, you do not need to have a physical office in Bahamas to incorporate.

What are the requirements to maintain a Bahamas company?

Annual Company Renewal: A Bahamas IBC is required to undergo an annual company renewal process. This renewal typically involves the payment of annual government fees and the submission of updated company information to the relevant authorities. This process should be completed before the anniversary of the company's incorporation or previous renewal.

Annual General Meetings (AGM): Unlike some jurisdictions, Bahamas IBCs are not required to hold Annual General Meetings. If you choose to hold AGMs, they can be conducted anywhere and need not be held in the Bahamas.

Annual Report Filings: Unlike certain other types of companies, IBCs in the Bahamas are not obligated to file annual reports with the local authorities.

Are there any taxes in the Bahamas? Do I have to pay any taxes under my offshore company in the Bahamas?

These companies will be subject to any tax that is not considered nominal, which means that it is not close to zero or negligible. Companies are no longer exempt from taxes, they are not currently subject to corporate income tax due to the 0% rate.

In addition to the 0% corporate tax rate, the Bahamas also does not impose capital gains tax, estate tax, inheritance tax, or succession tax.
