How We Can Help

The BDA acts as your strategic partner — connecting global investors with the people, policies and insight needed to move forward.

We offer strategic guidance and direct access to decision-makers across government, industry and regulation. From interpreting policy to advancing approvals, our role is to help you move with clarity.

We act as a single point of contact, providing trusted support that reflects Bermuda’s collaborative business environment and commitment to long-term partnerships.

A Strategic Point of Entry

The BDA bridges the public and private sectors to advance viable commercial activity in Bermuda. We support investment by connecting clients with the right people—across government, regulators, and the full spectrum of industry service providers, including legal, accounting, fiduciary, and advisory professionals—while clarifying what is possible within Bermuda’s legislative and regulatory frameworks. In doing so, we directly support the objectives of Bermuda’s Economic Development Strategy.

We also convene business leaders through hosted events such as the Bermuda Risk Summit and targeted sector roundtables, strengthening collaboration and helping to grow Bermuda’s investment ecosystem.

Our work is anchored in relationships, insight, and trust. While we do not replace legal or commercial advisors, we help open doors, align stakeholders, and build the momentum needed to move initiatives forward.

Clarity, Context, and Connections

The BDA provides free, confidential concierge-style services to help investors and businesses establish in Bermuda with confidence. Our role is facilitative — offering clarity, context, and connections to ensure a seamless transition and long-term success.

We complement, not compete with, the island’s outstanding network of world-class service providers. By working together, we help clients navigate Bermuda’s policy frameworks, engage with Government, and integrate into the local ecosystem.

Our support includes tailored sector and market intelligence, customised visit programmes and location searches, and guidance on immigration, visas, and work permits. We also assist in securing on-island partnerships, recruiting local talent, and providing introductions to trusted advisors. Clients benefit from coordinated access to regulators and Government officials, as well as communications support to raise visibility.

Through participation in BDA events, overseas delegations, and networking opportunities, we ensure your entry into Bermuda is coordinated, strategic, and primed for growth.

Advocacy

Advocacy is a core part of the BDA’s role. We engage with stakeholders across sectors to represent Bermuda’s interests, support the evolution of policy and regulation, and ensure the jurisdiction’s strengths are understood both locally and globally.

Through platforms like the BDA Leadership Exchange, we bring together decision-makers to share insights, shape solutions, and promote collaboration. This work helps create an environment where investment can thrive, and where innovation and growth are supported by a clear, trusted regulatory framework.
