How do I go about incorporating a company?

Category: Corporate Services

Answer:

The government agency responsible for company incorporation is:

Registrar General's Office P.O. Box N532 Nassau, N.P. Bahamas Tel: (242) 322-3316 Fax: (242) 322-5553 Email: [email protected] / ATTN: Registrar General

Once you have reserved your company name and submitted your company documents, incorporation generally can be completed within 24 hours.

You can access BFSB member firms providing company incorporation services through our Member Directory, and can reach them directly by mail/tel/fax/email. Most members also provide a www site -- which you might wish to peruse to get detailed information on services. Individual company sites also provide details on costs and, in some cases, offer online registration services. Member sites in general also provide good background information on doing business in The Bahamas.

Company incorporation services generally are handled by attorneys, but some private banks, accounting firms, and general corporate service providers do so as well.
