We decided to share this article with readers of BAHAMAS CHRONICLE, which has a huge following among the Bahamian diaspora across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom as well as in The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. The Grand Bahama Port Authority shared this article on Wednesday, August 5, 2026.
Nicole B. Colebrooke, Customer Relations Manager at The Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA), recently joined Boss League for an entrepreneurship session focused on one key question: what does it actually take to turn a great idea into a thriving business?
The session kicked off with insights into business planning essentials, regulatory know-how, and how GBPA works to support entrepreneurs on their journey. From there, participants dove into hands-on team exercises such as building business concepts from the ground up, pitching their ideas, and tackling real-world decisions like choosing the right location, meeting regulatory requirements, and planning a strong opening day.
The result? A dynamic mix of creativity, teamwork, and strategic thinking, with a clear takeaway: smart planning, compliance, and informed choices are the building blocks of business success.
This session is just one example of how GBPA is working to cultivate a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem — one where new businesses are supported and tomorrow’s leaders are equipped to succeed.
Specials thanks to Boss League for the chance to connect with such a driven and forward-thinking group of aspiring entrepreneurs. Their passion and creativity are proof that Grand Bahama’s business future is in great hands.
