Our Mission
To fund and grow Bahamian businesses with loan and equity capital, paired with hands-on support.
About BEVF
Your success begins with us.
The Bahamas Entrepreneurial Venture Fund makes loan or equity funding available to start-up and existing businesses across The Bahamas.
Overview
An important source of equity for Bahamian businesses.
Venture capital is money provided by professionals who invest alongside management in young, rapidly growing companies that have the potential to develop into significant economic contributors. Venture capital is an important source of equity for start-up companies.
Since its inception, the government has released around 8.2 million dollars in funding through the Bahamas Entrepreneurial Venture Fund — with 80 per cent going to Nassau, 12 per cent to Grand Bahama, and the rest dispersed among the Family Islands.
BEVF exists to bridge the gap between Bahamian ambition and the capital required to build lasting businesses. We invest in founders, not just balance sheets — and we walk alongside the businesses we fund with hands-on guidance, management mentorship, and accounting support.
Our Vision
A Bahamas where every viable business idea can access the capital to become a reality.
Our Values
Professionalism, partnership, and the long-term success of Bahamian entrepreneurs.
