Why Barbados for Insurance?

​Barbados is a successful business centre that enables investors to enhance their global competitiveness. The country is also a mature captive insurance domicile, ranking among the top 10 worldwide for decades. As a reputable and sophisticated jurisdiction Barbados is known for its simplified annual corporate filing and easy incorporation and operational procedures. Other advantages include low capital and flexible solvency requirements, availability of segregated and incorporated cell companies, as well as separate accounts, and there is no restriction on insurance business written.

Actuarial services are available locally and the major accounting firms, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PwC, are represented on island, as well as major international banks that provide services geared to global insurance.

Barbados facilitates global growth and profitability and offers cost efficient treaty-based business opportunities, educated human resources, quality professional services, modern infrastructure and a quality lifestyle. 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.

The jurisdiction also offers a​​ competitive environment for business process outsourcing, financial services and wealth management, financial technology, information communication technology, niche manufacturing, renewable energy and medicinal cannabis, to name a few.
