Barbados - A Welcoming Investment Climate for Global Business
Barbados facilitates global growth and profitability, offering the combination of a secure and reputable jurisdiction, cost efficient treaty-based business opportunities, educated human resources, quality professional services, modern infrastructure and a quality lifestyle.
Ranked as having “very high human development” by the UN’s Human Development Index, Barbados’ success as a centre for global business has been built on transparency, effective regulation, adherence to international best practice standards and the attraction of businesses of substance.
Barbados is a mature captive insurance domicile, ranking among the top 10 worldwide for decades. It has established itself as a well-respected and sophisticated jurisdiction and is known for its simplified annual corporate filing and easy incorporation and operational procedures. Actuarial services are available locally and the major accounting firms, BDO, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PwC, are represented on island, as well as major international banks that provide services geared to global insurance.
The jurisdiction offers a competitive environment for business process outsourcing, financial services and wealth management, financial technology, information communication technology, global insurance, niche manufacturing, renewable energy and medicinal cannabis, to name a few.
