It is the third richest nation per capita in The Americas and boasts of the first-world charm in a developing world setting. Robust in sun, sand, and sea The Bahamas has a myriad of reasons you should invest in this sprawling paradise. Making it a prime location for foreign investment.

At CMDC we offer luxurious real estate and construction solutions on the island of New Providence and we can help make your investment dreams come true. In this blog post, we’re going to outline the ten most outstanding reasons you should invest in The Bahamas, just in case you were still on the fence about it and needed some encouragement. Let’s get started.

1. The Bahamas' proximity to North, Central, and South American financial centers makes it a great place for investments.

Living in The Bahamas means that you’re never far away from the major financial centers of the Western Hemisphere. With a world-class financial sector of its own, The Bahamas is the perfect place to spend your time during the winter, summer, or fall months of the year.

2. The world's largest economy is only 50 miles away.

Another great hallmark of investing in The Bahamas is the proximity to The United States of America. The Bahamas is located just 120 miles southeast of the American state of Florida. A flight from New Providence to the southern tip of the United States is a comfortable 45 minutes. With a fully functional international airport, you can jet-set in and out of the country with ease.

3. The Bahamas shares a time zone (EST) with Miami, New York, and Toronto.

No need to adjust your clocks if you’re used to eastern standard time, The Bahamas is in the same time zone as the major cities in the western hemisphere enabling you to conduct business without converting your time. In reality, though, when you arrive, you’ll be on island time.

4. A Peaceful and stable democracy for almost 300 years.

Historically The Bahamas has always known peace, even pre-colonial days were relatively peaceful. There has never been political unrest of any kind in the country. What’s more, is when there was a transference of power to the Bahamian people from Great Britain it was amicable.

5. Independent nation since 1973.

July 10th, 1973 The Bahamas became an independent, sovereign nation. Since then, it has emerged as an economic powerhouse in the region and as aforementioned it has the third-highest GDP per capita in the Americas. As a young developing nation, The Bahamas still has so much untapped potential. An investment in The Bahamas means seeding into building a nation.

6. Life is less taxing for those who choose to live here. No personal or corporate income taxes and no taxes on capital gains, no inheritance tax, dividends, or interest.

Once a tax haven for the rich before many nations cracked down on tax havens, investors can still enjoy the lowest taxation within the western hemisphere. In the Bahamas, despite the high cost of living, your money can stretch a little further due to the lack of exorbitant taxation. The Bahamas is a tax-attractive, investor-friendly destination, making it even more appealing specifically from an investment perspective.

7. Numerous Acts of Parliament offer ease of purchasing property with investment incentives and Permanent Residency.

Purchasing property and building your sprawling island-getaway is made easy thanks to various acts passed in the Bahamian parliament. What’s more, when you make a sizable investment in the Bahamas through real-estate and property acquisition you become eligible for permanent residency. This affords you the ease of spending as many months a year in paradise as you wish without worrying about violating any immigration constraints.

8. Utilize an English-speaking, trained workforce.

Real estate isn’t the only aspect of investment you can make in The Bahamas. You can even set up business here and utilize the trained workforce the island nation offers. The Bahamas is a former British colony and therefore English is the primary language with Bahamian creole a close second and Haitian creole third. A sizable part of the workforce is trained in international and local institutions and can function in a myriad of capacities making furnishing your workforce an easy task.

9. The ease of getting here with frequent daily U.S. Canada, London, and several direct international flights.

As we stated earlier, it is quite simple to travel to and from the Bahamas. With the Lynden Pindling International Airport having direct flights daily you can jet-set in and out of the country with ease. Several major airlines operate out of the country. Even during the pandemic, flights are easily accessible to the US, Canada, and Europe.

10. An ideal climate and lifestyle with modern infrastructure and world-class communications.

Enjoy temperate weather all year round, except when things heat up during the summer months. The Bahamas has a sub-tropical climate with the zephyr that blows across the islands making it much more bearable. Thanks to the modern infrastructure you don’t have to worry about being without the normal creature comforts of city life. As a developing nation, the Bahamas has world-class communication, be it cellular and landline services and high-speed internet affording you the comfort of staying connected.
