BUSINESS FACTS
Investing in Barbados
Non-national investors will need to submit an application for permission to invest in Barbados to the Exchange Control Authority (ECA). The functions of the ECA have been delegated to the Central Bank of Barbados and are carried out by the Foreign Exchange and Export Credits Department of the Bank.
The applications are usually submitted by the applicant or their professional advisor prior to the execution of the transaction contemplated, for permission "in principle". This permission is readily granted, especially if employment in Barbados will be created, but usually states that the permission is subject to the remittance to Barbados of foreign currency and that evidence of the remittance be submitted to the ECA. Once permission in principle is obtained the transaction is completed and evidence of the foreign remittance submitted to the ECA; the amount of foreign currency becomes registered with the ECA. The certificate of registration of these funds is an important document as it must be presented at any time in the future that the investment proceeds are to be repatriated from Barbados.
The investment vehicle or business in which the non-national has invested is treated as resident and all transactions in foreign currency will be subject to exchange control permission or guidelines under delegated authority to the commercial banks. In certain circumstances when a business earns foreign exchange a commercial bank may open a foreign currency account in Barbados for the business. The commercial bank is required to monitor the transactions on the account in accordance with the guidelines issued by the ECA from time to time and to submit information on the transactions.
Non-national investors or corporations controlled by non-nationals are generally required to finance their operations from sources external to Barbados. Where a significant project is being undertaken in Barbados that will create employment and foreign exchange earnings the ECA will consider applications for permission for financing arrangements that vary from the general requirement.
