Company formation in Bahamas

International Business Company (IBC)

Bahamas International Business Company is a model example of an offshore company thanks to which entrepreneurs may minimise costs arising from doing business, especially costs connected with taxation, in a completely legal way, maintaining full confidentiality and asset protection. Companies of this type may perform virtually any type of business activity, except licenced sectors, such as banking, insurance, services for trust, fund management.

IBSs have simple structure and are easy to manage from abroad, thanks to which they do not accrue redundant administrative costs. To form a company, you only need one shareholder and one director. There are no obligations with regard to annual management board or shareholders’ meetings, and meetings may take place from anywhere in the world, also by phone, Skype or other mobile applications.

IBCs in the Bahamas have long tradition, thanks to which the structure is known by banks which do not make any problems when opening accounts here.
