These support agencies facilitate growing the private sector and will provide services like registering your business, guidance on legal requirements (e.g. tax registration/compliance, and social security registration/compliance), and protecting your ideas, products or services (e.g. copyright or trademark registration).\nBusiness Resource Support – agencies that help to identify, gather and allow access to funding and guidance from experts. These agencies may help pay some of your business expenses or provide people/support to help improve your product or service.  Low interest loans and grants (money that does not need to be repaid) may also be offered and this type of support will likely come from Development Banks, Ministries of Trade/Commerce/ Sustainable Development, and Investment Funds/Programmes.\nBusiness Networking Support – organizations that help business owners connect to share ideas, improve skills, and generate sales from present or new customers to grow their businesses. These support agencies may include Chambers of Industry and Commerce, Small Business Associations, Export Development Agencies, and Regional/International organisations.\nTourism Specific Support – agencies that offer assistance to businesses which directly provide tourism goods and services. These agencies will often include Tourism Boards, Ministries of Tourism, Tourism Associations/groups (e.g. accommodation, restaurants, taxis, tour guides) and other tourism focused business support bodies (e.g. marketing or product development).\nCountry Specific Appendix - The Bahamas\nWelcome to the MSME Resource Directory for the Hospitality and Tourism Sector in The Bahamas.\nThis information identifies agencies that assist with business planning, setup, planning, and expansion, in order to enhance the quality of tourism products and services on offer.
