International Business Companies in the Bahamas are not required to file financial statements and the names of the shareholders and directors are not required to be disclosed under the laws of the Bahamas.

In the Bahamas there is difficulty obtaining company data due to the lack of filing requirements. As such, it is sometimes necessary to instruct a lawyer to work with the Registrar General’s Department which results in higher cost associated with the company search report. With some older companies we have to wait for the Registrar General’s Department to retrieve the company file from the archives which, can take longer.
