How to get a business license in the Bahamas?

A Business Licence Unit office (BLU) can provide the application form. Complete and submit the application form to the BLU, a Treasury Office, or a Family Island Administrator. This form also includes the registration of a business name. If the name is rejected, the applicant will be informed and directed to choose from the remaining options on the form.

These documents have to be attached to the application:

• Identification papers
• Appropriate Registration Fee
• Other industry specific Approvals

The application is completed within 7 working days if there is no problem. The applicants will be contacted by the BLU to notify them that they may pick up their Bahamas business license.

The Registrar General Office is where public trading firms, limited liability partnerships, and limited liability companies register and obtain their certificate of incorporation. Then this is delivered to the BLU office.
