Our Successes

“Securing funding from the Bahamas Development Bank was a smooth and straightforward process that allowed us to scale at a critical time. At that stage, access to capital wasn’t readily available elsewhere, but BDB was deeply committed to supporting young businesses especially those in manufacturing and industrial sectors like ours. Through their assistance and government manufacturing exemptions, we were able to make a significant leap into the market. From my experience, any entrepreneur willing to take the risk can find a true partner in BDB. Success won’t happen overnight it requires patience, consistency, and discipline but with the right support, the results are transformational.”

Michael Cunningham, General Manager Bahamas Welding & Fire

“Partnering with the Bahamas Development Bank allowed us to accelerate our production by funding new machinery and enhancing the capabilities of existing equipment. I’m truly grateful for the BDB’s role in the growth and advancement of my business. Their team has been the most understanding, compassionate, and professional group I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I remain optimistic about future initiatives and the continued impact of their support on local businesses like mine.”

Youlette Etienne- Davis, Owner The Coconut Factory

“After successfully securing a loan from the Bahamas Development Bank, I was able to purchase essential machinery that significantly improved my business operations and increased client demand. The loan application process was smooth and stress-free, and the loan officers were professional, supportive, and approachable throughout the entire experience.”

Dorothy Miller, Owner The Dot Miller Collection
