Besides being a popular second home destination, you may say the Bahamas has a “captive” international business audience.

That's because companies like Marsh & McLennan

- the world's largest captive insurance manager – are attracted to our island nation.

Captive insurance companies are formalised self-insurance companies.

Marsh, which manages more than 1,220 captive insurers worldwide, has promoted the Bahamas as a captive insurance jurisdiction of integrity with modern legislative and regulatory requirements consistent with international best practices.

With close proximity to the U.S. and only a three hour flight to Toronto and a luxury home market with an array of great real estate offerings, the Bahamas has long played host to an impressive list of high flyers.

Some of the best Bahamas real estate is located in Lyford Cay on the island of New Providence (Nassau) and Paradise Island, which is linked to the city of Nassau by bridge.

The beauty about the Bahamas is the different selection of islands – from fast paced to laid back – and all the real estate offerings that are available on the islands.

Gorgeous beaches and internet are at your fingertips in the more developed islands.

That's why the Bahamas is known as the place to work, live and play.
