Bahamas Company for Real Estate Holding
An offshore structure is only as strong as the planning behind it. The difference between a resilient international company and an expensive mistake usually comes down to decisions made before incorporation, not after.

For real estate holding, the Bahamas IBC offers 0% corporate, income and capital gains tax, formation in 2–3 business days and private ownership registers — this guide explains where it fits, where it doesn't, and how to bank it.
