Nassau, Bahamas - The global organic personal care market is expected to reach USD $15.98 billion by 2020. Savvy Bahamian entrepreneurs are tapping into this market and are looking for ways to expand their businesses both locally and internationally.

Simply Natural, a Bahamian company which manufactures natural, organic beauty products and handmade cosmetics, is positioning itself as a leader in the industry. Its line of products include: Mint Almond Oil, Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Whipped Shea Butter and Coffee Coconut Body Scrub.

Simply Natural’s products are available at several locations on New Providence and the company’s owner, Ms. Keisha Moss, after learning about the recently launched Bahamas Trade Information Portal hopes to use the platform to assist her in exporting her products internationally.

The company registered on the Portal this month, joining the growing number of businesses that are signing up. “This is a great way to get your business international and allow others to see what The Bahamas and small businesses have to offer,” said Moss.

Launched in April 2017, the Bahamas Trade Information Portal is an online one-stop- shop that allows small, medium and large enterprises that export, or wish to export, their goods and services to showcase their products to buyers in the international market.

Businesses that register with the Portal are provided with an individual mini-webpage that lays out their company profile along with product photos and videos. The mini-webpage also includes a contact form so that international buyers can contact local businesses directly.

In addition, the Bahamas Trade Information Portal provides entrepreneurs with easy access to essential international business & trade data that can assist them with foreign market opportunities.

The Portal also offers many free online courses on: marketing; how to access sources of financing; how to create an export strategy; and how to generate export business.

According to Charo Walker, Trade Portal Manager, “The Portal is an incredible resource for businesses that want to take advantage of the rewards that global trade offers. It helps businesses that may not yet be ready to export, become export ready. For those companies that are exporting the Portal showcases the goods and services that they offer. The registration process is very simple and there is no cost involved in registering. The objective is to grow the economy and I would like to encourage the business community to capitalize on this opportunity.

The Portal is the result of a public-private partnership between the Ministry of Financial Services ,Trade and Industry and Immigration and The Bahamas Chamber of Commerce and Employers Confederation (BCCEC).
