How It Works

Four steps from idea to investment.

A clear, transparent process designed around Bahamian founders and the businesses they are building.

Step 1

Application

Submit a letter outlining your investment proposal. The letter should describe the business to be undertaken and the amount of funds being sought. Following an initial review, you will be asked to submit your Business Plan and a copy of your resume — no more than thirty (30) pages including attachments, appendices, and exhibits.

Step 2

Review

Our team reviews your submission against the Fund's investment criteria. We evaluate the business opportunity, the founding team, the market, the financials, and the strategy. We may request clarifications or supplementary materials during this stage.

Step 3

Presentation

Qualifying applicants are invited to present their business to the BEVF team. This is your opportunity to bring the business plan to life — to walk us through your vision, your numbers, and the team behind the plan.

After presentation, the Fund issues a funding decision. Approved businesses receive structured loan or equity capital along with ongoing guidance, management support, and access to our network.
