Corporate
Why Bahamas
A Bahamas trust is a trust formed under Bahamas law for succession, family wealth and asset protection. 4Corporate coordinates the deed, letter of wishes and appointment of a licensed Bahamas trustee through local counsel. It can hold a Bahamas company, financial assets or other permitted property, with trustee, protector and beneficiary terms written for your purpose.
Why a Bahamas trust
A Bahamas trust gives you a Caribbean-law vehicle for succession and protection, with no personal income, capital-gains or inheritance tax as published for The Bahamas. A licensed trustee, a private deed, and the option to hold company shares or financial assets sit in one coordinated engagement.
How 4Corporate supports you
A trust only protects what is structured well and executed locally. We help you define the purpose, appoint a licensed trustee, and coordinate the deed so you are not left to interpret a foreign trust law alone. We stay with you through the practical local necessities of getting the structure live. A private consultation confirms settlor, beneficiaries and next steps before documents are signed.
Advantages
Tax, location and privacy
Tax
Published tax treatment: no personal income, capital-gains, or inheritance tax. How that applies if you reside in The Bahamas is reviewed with licensed counsel.
Location
A Bahamas trust is a Caribbean-law trust that can hold company shares or financial assets, often beside a Bahamas company or a 4Corporate banking introduction.
Privacy
Trustee, protector and beneficiary terms are documented with a licensed Bahamas trustee. The deed is not treated as a public lifestyle register.
Protection
Used for succession, family wealth and asset protection under Bahamas law. A licensed local trustee is required. It can sit beside a Bahamas company.
