PROSPECTUS SUMMARY AND RISK FACTORS

The Company

Cuba Business Development Group, Inc. (CBDG, the Company, we, us, our), was incorporated September 21, 2009 in the State of Nevada. The Company is in the development stage. We are in the process of establishing ourselves as a company that will focus its operations on providing consulting, sales representation, and marketing representation to the entertainment industry, public companies and private companies from Cuba interested in establishing business contacts in the United States. Additionally, the Company will broker business contracts between business partners in the United States and Europe and business partners in Cuba in fulfillment of our business plan. We plan to generate revenue from the commission fees we will charge for establishing the business contracts upon acceptance of them by each party.
 
Our principal executive office is located at 8010 NW Terrace, Miami, FL 33018. Our telephone number is (305) 823-9193.
 
 Management, or affiliates thereof, will not purchase shares in this offering.
 
Number of Shares Being Offered

This prospectus covers the resale by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus of up to 999,000 shares of our common stock. The offered shares were acquired by the selling stockholders in a private spin-off transaction, which is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at a maximum of $0.05 per share until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or listed for trading or quotation on any other public market, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market. Further, there is no assurance that our common stock will ever trade on any market or securities exchange. Please see the Plan of Distribution section at page 12 of this prospectus for a detailed explanation of how the common shares may be sold.

Number of Shares Outstanding

There were 22,275,297 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at April 1, 2010.

Use of Proceeds

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock being offered for sale by the selling stockholders. We will incur all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus.

Summary of Financial Information

The summarized consolidated financial data presented below is derived from and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements from Inception (September 21, 2009) through November 30, 2009, including the notes to those financial statements which are included elsewhere in this prospectus along with the section entitled  “Plan of Operation” beginning on page 24 of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

The securities offered hereby are highly speculative and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in CBDG.  Each prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as all other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, before purchasing any of the shares of our common stock.

We have no operating history and have maintained losses since inception, which we expect to continue into the near term.

We were incorporated on September 21, 2009 and only just recently commenced operations. We have not realized any revenues to date. We have no operating history at all upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss from inception to November 30, 2009 was $(17,906). Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow beyond the near term is dependent upon:

 
·
our ability to further develop our  customer base for our products in Cuba:
 
·
our ability to generate a customer base in other countries;
 
·
our ability to control costs; and
 
·
our ability to compete with others.
 
Based upon our proposed plans, we expect to incur operating losses through November 2010, and be profitable thereafter.  There will be substantial costs and expenses associated with the development and marketing of our products in Cuba for which revenues in that area will be initially limited. Failure to generate revenues initially in Cuba could cause us to go out of business.

If we are unable to obtain the necessary revenues and financing to implement our business plan we will not have the money to pay our ongoing expenses and we may go out of business unless our existing shareholder base provides funding.

Our ability to successfully sell our products to generate operating revenues in other countries depends on our ability to sustain overall profitability and cash flows to implement our business plan. Given that we have no operating history, no present revenues and only losses to date, we may not be able to achieve this goal, and if this occurs we plan to sell equity securities to be able to pay our operating costs. Should this fail, we may go out of business unless our shareholder base or other investors provides us with the needed funding.

At November 30, 2009, we had $13,356 of cash. As of the date hereof, we have $2,100 in cash. Our budgeted operating cash expenditures for the next 12 months through November 2010 are approximately $450,438, and our budgeted cash flow from gross profit is $175,000. Therefore, we presently have budgeted a zero cash position from operations as of November 2010 and a need for additional capital from the sale of securities of approximately $280,438.

How long CBDG will be able to satisfy its cash requirements depends on how quickly we can generate sales in Cuba and other countries. Although there can be no assurance at present, we plan to be in a position to generate revenues by June 30, 2010. We estimate that as of June 30, 2010, we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund all expenditures under our present business plan.

We plan on selling additional equity securities to generate sufficient cash flows to supplement our operating budget until operations support continuing cash flows. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders depending on the price we can sell such shares. The resale of shares by our existing stockholders pursuant to this prospectus may result in significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and cause negative impact on our ability to sell additional equity securities.

There is no assurance our Company will ever achieve profitability.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company’s business will be profitable. The Company may not generate sufficient revenues to provide to its investors and shareholders any return on their investment.

RISK FACTORS - continued
 
Dependence on Key Personnel.

The Company’s performance is substantially dependent on the performance of its executive officers, directors and shareholders, Hugo Cancio and Ariel Machado and other key employees it intends to recruit as the Company scales its operations. The Company is independent on its ability to retain and motivate high quality personnel; especially its management and highly skilled foreign joint venture associates. The Company does not have “key person” life insurance policies on any of its employees. The loss of the services of any of its key employees, particularly the members of the Company’s current management (see “Management”), could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results. The Company’s future success also depends on its continuing ability to identify, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. There can be no assurance the company will be able to attract, assimilate or retain qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future, and the failure of the company to do so would have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition or operating results.
 
We may not be able to compete effectively against our competitors.
 
There are several U.S. and foreign entities and groups with similar objectives to those of the Company that are either involved or are looking into the Cuban market. The Company expects competition to persist, intensify and increase in the future. The Company’s current and future competitors, both in the United States and Latin America, include: private investors, international consulting firms, investment funds, venture capital companies, financial advisory firms, international accounting firms and merchant banks. Some of these firms have substantially greater resources, greater name recognition, and longer operating histories and better educated and trained management. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures faced by the Company will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts to develop the Cuban market will be successful.

The Company intends to expand its operations into the Cuban market, which will require significant management attention and financial resources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts to develop the Cuban market will be successful. Cuba is subject to a number of risks, including the current U.S. embargo and restrictions on doing business in Cuba, potentially longer payment cycles, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, import and export restrictions, difficulties in standing and managing foreign operations, the burden of complying with a variety of foreign laws, greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection, potentially adverse tax consequences, currency fluctuations, and potential political economic instability.

In the event that the Company is successful in expanding its operation to Cuba, the imposition of exchange or the control of price or other restrictions on foreign currencies could materially effect the Company’s business results and financial conditions.

The Company may be exposed to the consequences of political, economic, social and diplomatic changes in Cuba. In recent years Cuba has experienced political and social instability and inflation. Political changes or a deterioration of Cuba’s domestic economy or balance of trade may indirectly affect the company’s ability to operate business in such a country.

No assurance our marketing efforts will be successful.

While our management has substantial experience in marketing our proposed services, and while we have plans for marketing and sales, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful or that we will be able to attract and retain qualified individuals with marketing and sales expertise. Our future success will depend, among other factors, upon whether our services can be contracted for at a profitable price and the extent to which consumers acquire, adopt, and continue to use them. There can be no assurance that our services will gain wide acceptance in our targeted markets or that we will be able to effectively market our services.

If our estimates related to expenditures and cashflow from operations are erroneous, and we are unable to sell additional equity securities, our business could fall short of expectations and you may lose your entire investment.

Our financial success is dependent in part upon the accuracy of our management's estimates of expenditures and cash flow from operations. (See "Plan of Operation") If such estimates are erroneous or inaccurate, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, which could, in a worst-case scenario, result in the failure of our business and you losing your entire investment.

RISK FACTORS - continued
 
Our Business Model may not be sufficient to achieve success in our intended market

Our survival is dependent upon the market acceptance of our services.  Should these services be too narrowly focused or should the target market not be as responsive as we anticipate, we will not have in place alternate  services we can offer to ensure our survival.

Inability of Our Officers and Directors to devote sufficient time to the operation of the business may limit our success.

Presently, the officers and directors of CBDG allocate approximately 50% of their time to the operation of CBDG’s business.  Since our officers and directors are currently involved part time elsewhere, they may not be able to devote full time availability to work for CBDG.

Should the business develop faster than anticipated, the officers and directors will have to retain other personnel to ensure that it continues as a going concern.

Our independent auditors’ report states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Our independent auditors, De Joya Griffith & Company, LLC, Certified Public Accountants, state in their audit report, dated March 25, 2010 and included with this prospectus, that since we are a development stage company, have no established source of revenue and are dependent on our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations, there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Investors will have little voice regarding the management of CBDG due to the large ownership position held by our existing management and thus it would be difficult for new investors to make changes in our operations or management, and therefore, shareholders would be subject to decisions made by management and the majority shareholders.

Officers and directors directly own 14,533,748 shares of the total of 22,275,297 issued and outstanding shares of CBDG’s common stock, as of April 1, 2010. Thus, our officers and directors are in a position to continue to control CBDG. Of these shares, Mr. Hugo M. Cancio, our CEO, President and Director, owns 13,218,748 shares of our common stock, or 59.34%.  Mr. Ed Steinback, our Treasurer/CFO and Director, owns 1,030,000 shares of our common stock, or 4.62%. Mr. Ariel Machado, our Vice President of Operations and Director, owns 255,000 shares of our common stock, or 1.14%. James A. “Drew” Connolly III, our Director, owns 30,000 shares of our common stock, or 0.13%. Such control may be risky to the investor because the entire Company's operations are dependent on a very few people who could lack ability, or interest in pursuing CBDG operations. In such event, our business may fail and you may lose your entire investment. Moreover, new investors will not be able to effect a change in the Company’s business or management.

Risks Associated with our Common Stock

Difficulty for CBDG stockholders to resell their stock due to a lack of public trading market

There is presently no public trading market for our common stock, and it is unlikely that an active public trading market can be established or sustained in the foreseeable future.  We intend to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board as soon as practicable.  However, there can be no assurance that CBDG’s shares will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.  Until there is an established trading market, holders of our common stock may find it difficult to sell their stock or to obtain accurate quotations for the price of the common stock.  If a market for our common stock does develop, our stock price may be volatile.

Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our shares because they are considered penny stocks and are subject to the penny stock rules.

Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on FINRA broker-dealers who make a market in "penny stocks". A penny stock generally includes any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share.  Our shares currently are not traded on Nasdaq nor on any other exchange nor are they quoted on the OTC/Bulletin Board or “OTCBB”. Following the date that the registration statement, in which this prospectus is included, becomes effective, we hope to find a broker-dealer to act as a market maker for our stock and file on our behalf with the FINRA an application on Form 15c(2)(11) for approval for our shares to be quoted on the OTCBB. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not attempted to find a market maker to file such application for us. If we are successful in finding such a market maker and successful in applying for quotation on the OTCBB, it is very likely that our stock will be considered a “penny stock”. In that case, purchases and sales of our shares will be generally facilitated by FINRA broker-dealers who act as market makers for our shares.  The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.

RISK FACTORS - continued
 
Risks Associated with our Common Stock - continued
 
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.

In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.  A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities.  Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

We intend to become subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs will negatively affect our ability to earn a profit.

Following the effective date of the registration statement in which this prospectus is included, we will be required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder. In order to comply with such requirements, our independent registered auditors will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit.
 
Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares of our common stock.

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future. Investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not invest in our common stock.

Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, purchasers of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.

We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 22,275,297 shares are issued and outstanding as of April 1, 2010.  Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock, and to determine the rights, preferences and privilege of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the stockholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of CBDG in the future.

Risks Associated with our Business

If we are unable to obtain work permits, visas, passports and/or other necessary documents for artists and performers from Cuba to enter the United States we could experience a loss of revenue.

As part of our business plan, we intend to offer services to obtain work permits, visas, passports and/or other necessary documents for artists and performers from Cuba to enter the United States for purposes of performing here. If we are unable to obtain such necessary documentation for these artists and performers, our business could experience a loss in revenue which will negatively affect our profitability.

We are subject to existing and future regulations governing our dealings with Cuban Nationals and organizations within Cuba.

Our ability to conduct business within Cuba and in the United States with Cuban Nationals and organizations seeking to conduct business in the United States, and our ability to travel between the United States and Cuba for purposes of conducting our business is governed by Title 31 Part 15 of the Federal Code of regulations commonly known as “The Cuban Asset Control Regulations.” These regulations were issued by the U.S. Government on July 8, 1963, under the Trading with the Enemy Act in response to certain hostile actions by the Cuban government. They are still in force today and affect any person subject to U.S. jurisdiction—including all U.S. citizens and permanent residents wherever they are located, all individuals and organizations physically in the United States, and all branches and subsidiaries of U.S. organizations throughout the world—as well as all persons engaging in transactions that involve property in or otherwise subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. The Regulations are administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). Criminal penalties for violating the Regulations range up to 10 years in prison, $1,000,000 in corporate fines, and $250,000 in individual fines. Civil penalties up to $65,000 per violation may also be imposed. These regulations could significantly affect our ability to conduct business with Cuban Nationals and organizations both domestic and abroad therefore negatively affecting our ability to generate revenue. Further, should we violate any provisions of these regulations, or any future applicable statutes, rules or regulations, we could be subject to both civil and criminal penalties which could jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern.

Forward Looking Statements

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” on pages 6 to 9, that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. The safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply to the offering made in this prospectus.

Securities and Exchange Commission’s Public Reference

Any member of the public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

The Offering

This prospectus covers the resale by certain selling stockholders of 999,000 shares of common stock, which were issued pursuant to a spin off transaction with our former parent Fuego Enterprises, Inc., a publicly held Nevada corporation currently traded on the Pink Sheets under the trading symbol (“FUGI.PK”).

 USE OF PROCEEDS

The shares of common stock offered hereby are being registered for the account of the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of the common stock will go to the respective selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders.
 
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The selling stockholders may sell their shares of our common stock at a price of $0.05 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain an OTCBB listing. The offering price of $0.05 per share is arbitrary and does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Additionally, because we have no significant operating history and have not generated any material revenues to date, the price of our common stock is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of our common stock indicative of the current market value of the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and potential business expansion.

DILUTION

Since all of the shares being registered are already issued and outstanding, no dilution will result from this offering.

 SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

All of the shares of common stock issued are being offered by the selling stockholders listed in the table below. None of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers or affiliated with broker-dealers. We issued the shares of common stock pursuant to a spin off transaction with our former parent Fuego Enterprises, Inc., a publicly held Nevada corporation.

The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of the common stock issued. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or only some portion of the 999,000 shares of common stock to be registered, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of these shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of the offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of our common stock in one or more of the following methods described below. Our common stock is not currently listed on any national exchange or electronic quotation system. There is currently no market for our securities and a market may never develop. Because there is currently no public market for our common stock, the selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at a price of $0.05 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain an OTCBB listing. The shares of common stock may be sold by the selling stockholders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:
 
 
(a) 
block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
(b)
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
 
(c)
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the exchange;
 
(d)
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
 
(e)
privately negotiated transactions;
 
(f)
a combination of any aforementioned methods of sale; and
 
(g)
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law, including compliance with SEC’s Rule 144.

In the event of the transfer by any selling stockholder of his or her shares to any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee in place of the selling stockholder who has transferred his or her shares.

In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholders if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the selling stockholders. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares, commissions as described above.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

From time to time, the selling stockholders may pledge their shares of common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of their customer agreements with their brokers. Upon a default by a selling stockholder, the broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders intend to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements, under the Securities Act, by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required in the event any selling stockholder defaults under any customer agreement with brokers.

To the extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to this registration statement will be filed, disclosing the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction. In addition, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement will be filed to include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed herein.
 
We and the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the selling stockholders are distribution participants and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, under Regulation M.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION - continued
 
The anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, and there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, a selling stockholder or its agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while they are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Accordingly, the selling stockholder is not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. We will advise the selling stockholders that if a particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms materially different from the information set forth in this Plan of Distribution, then a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the SEC. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.

All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITY LIABILITIES
 
The Nevada General Corporation Law requires CBDG to indemnify officers and directors for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or director because of his or her status as an officer or director, to the extent that the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding. The Nevada General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and such indemnification is authorized by the stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained.
 
The Nevada General Corporation Law prohibits indemnification of a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the officer's or director's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing limitations on indemnification, the Nevada General Corporation Law may permit an officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.
 
The Nevada General Corporation Law also provides that indemnification of directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.

According to Article IX of CBDG’s bylaws, CBDG is authorized to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent authorized under Nevada Law subject to certain specified limitations.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be provided to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, CBDG has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”  below.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business Development

CBDG was incorporated on September 21, 2009 in the State of Nevada as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuego Enterprises, Inc., a publicly held Nevada corporation trading on the Pink Sheets under the symbol “FUGI.PK (“FEI”).

On October 12, 2009, 100% of the outstanding restricted common stock of CBDG held by FEI was spun off on a pro rata basis to the shareholders of FEI. The shareholders of FEI paid no additional consideration for the spin-off shares, and the spin-off shares were distributed to the FEI shareholders on a pro rata basis.  No assets or liabilities were included in the spin off and there was no previous history or operations of CBDG.

The spin off forming CBDG was done for the purposes of establishing a separate publicly held entity to take advantage of marketing and distribution opportunities the newly developing market of Cuba that currently are, and will become, legally available to U.S. – based corporations.
 
CBDG has never declared bankruptcy, has never been in receivership, and has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.

Since becoming incorporated, CBDG has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets.
 
We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business, and we are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause our plans to change.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - continued
 
Business Development - continued
 
We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have no operations, have been issued a going concern opinion and rely upon the sale of our securities and loans from our officers and directors to fund operations.
 
CBDG is not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since it has a specific business plan or purpose.

Neither CBDG nor its officers, directors, promoters or affiliates, has had preliminary contact or discussions with, nor do we have any present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any representatives of the owners of any business or company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger.

Business of Issuer

CBDG is a consulting company that assists companies in creating and implementing comprehensive procedures to approach business transactions with Cuba or Cuban nationals under the guidelines of the Trade Sanctions Reforms and Export Enhancement Act (TSRA) of 2000, or until such time all restrictions are lifted.

Overview of the Company

Cuba Business Development Group, Inc. provides the following services:

 
·
Management consulting;
 
·
Investment banking services;
 
·
Fundraising; and,
 
·
Direct investing.

The Company’s philosophy is grounded in the belief that businesses can make a significant and positive contribution to people, society and the environment. To help bring this philosophy to life, CBDG is focused on the Cuban market to drive positive business opportunities that are highly impactful to Cuban nationals while driving forward positive change in Cuba.

By providing leadership and experience in international business between Cuba and the world, CBDG’s management team is positioned to bridge the needs of a communist country with access to the free-markets and capitalist structure of the United States. It is management’s belief that the trade embargo between Cuba and the US will soon be lifted and CBDG will be positioned as a first-mover to provide those services to Cuba that match the open financial culture of the US.

History of the Company

Hugo M. Cancio has successfully managed various businesses serving both Cuba and the US. His track record, reputation, and management experience is key to the Company’s success in providing capital and consulting services to businesses that are currently doing business in Cuba or considering doing business in Cuba.
 
Leadership Drives Results

CBDG’s performance will be the result of its ongoing relationships with its clients and partners, including:

 
Ø
Stage One: Advisory Services. The Company leverages its consulting experience in executive and transactional roles. By assessing and structuring its clients at an early stage, each assignment will be better positioned for success by laying that foundation properly from start.

 
Ø
Stage Two: Capital Raising. The Company will be in the best position to offer and provide direct capital, when its balance sheet affords this opportunity. Since the Company will be able to invest in its own clients at the early stage, the investment terms will be more aggressive and advantageous to CBDG; such investment opportunities include venture capital, purchase order financing, bridge capital (equity and debt), and various other financial instruments and structures. If the Company is not able to provide direct capital investment, CBDG will be able to work on a best efforts basis in a capacity as a “finder” and not a Broker-Dealer to help facilitate introductions to existing business contacts; in this scenario, the client will responsible for negotiating any terms of investment. CBDG will continue to have a managerial consulting role with such client.

 
Ø
Stage Three: Maximizing Shareholder Value. Execution is the fundamental key to success. The Company will actively monitor its client’s operations to ensure that any advice it provides is adhered to. While each suggestion will be ultimately the client’s final decision to make, each objective will be designed to reach higher and higher milestones and drive successful business activities and in the process, increase shareholder value to its clients and partners.

Ø
Permanent access to Company management for transactional support, including mergers and acquisitions and helping with public listing of private companies.

Less Cyclical than the Overall Industry

As a result of its broad service offerings, the Company is less vulnerable to failing economic indicators as compared to other service oriented firms because the Company is able to provide valuable business expertise in both good times and bad. Thereby, CBDG’s performance is accessed by serving the needs of all businesses in any stage of their lifecycle, ensuring a positive mix of transaction volume and transaction quality.

Strong Backlog of Deal Flow
 
CBDG’s management has been actively involved in US-Cuban business dealings for approximately 20 years. As such, the Company has a significant backlog of available investment opportunities and potential clients for its consulting services. One of the Company’s first clients will be Fuego Enterprises, Inc., a publicly traded company based in Florida and an affiliate of CBDG.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - continued
 
Business of Issuer - continued
 
Raising capital or M&A is a complicated process, requiring a rational approach and discretion in a very personal undertaking. This is a challenging event to any business, and the Company strives to create the professional setting that facilitates the entire process with relative ease. CBDG therefore aims to deliver a standardized venue defined by key milestones. A business plan is reviewed, negotiations begin, due diligence performed, and the transaction closed. The following chart is an analysis of the transactional process from both an investor’s (e.g. “Private Equity Firm”) and operator’s (e.g. “Entrepreneur”) perspectives, which the Company is prepared to guide.

Fundraising

The investment banking process opens its clients to the professional review necessary to determine what level of finance the client should pursue. Fundraising is expected to be a core product offering of CBDG and by working with the Company’s network of public and private investors, it aims to package certain investments that welcomes qualified investors in quality opportunities. The Company will also have an option of directly investing in its own clients, and is expected to be able to capitalize on this direct access to its primary relationship.

Direct Investing

As CBDG will be a publicly traded company itself, it will be in a position to have direct access to the capital markets itself and use its own funding sources to provide direct capital to its clients, if necessary. This will allow the Company to benefit from its direct access to its primary relationship with the client; as such, the Company stand to build a board pool of investments, partners, and subsidiaries.

Market Review

Cuba

The capital of the Republic of Cuba is Havana and its official language is Spanish. As of July 2009, The World Factbook prepared by the CIA estimates the population of Cuba to be 11.5 million people. The country is currently led by Raul Castro since February 2008, replacing Fidel Castro who served for nearly five decades since leading a rebel army to victory in 1959.

Cuba is an island located in the Caribbean, between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, 150 km south of Key West, Florida. By comparison, Cuba’s land mass is slightly smaller than Pennsylvania.

The lack of access to external financing has been a key constraint on growth. As relations with Venezuela and China continue to deepen, credit and investment from these countries should help growth remain above historic trends through the forecast horizon.

Cuba has tremendous advantages long-term, including an educated and literate population of more than 11 million people, first-world health indicators, a vibrant cultural, sporting and historical heritage, and advantageous geographical position where ultimately it could act as a bridge between the US and Central/Latin America. While many foreign companies have recently left Cuba, total investment has increased as a few major investors have made significant new investments.

Richard Copland, President of the American Society of Travel Agents visited Cuba in 2003 and predicted, “If the ban was lifted tomorrow, we estimate that at least a million Americans would go there, the first year alone.” He further predicted that travel to Cuba would increase to five million by the fifth year after the travel ban is lifted.

Nickel and cobalt reserves in the north-east of the island are among the worlds largest. Cuba has about one-third of the world’s nickel resources (proven reserves of 800 million tones and 2 billion of probable reserves), and is the forth largest nickel producer. Cuba’s cobalt production is about 10% of the world total and the nation has the world’s second largest reserves.

Its natural resources include:
 
Cobalt;
Salt;
Nickel;
Timber;
Iron ore;
Silica;
Chromium;
Petroleum; and,
Copper;
Arable land.
 
There is a lack of infrastructure and support services which are able to support the mining operation. In general most machinery must be brought in from overseas and there is an almost complete lack of service companies which are able to handle even basic support functions.

In the medium-term there is an interesting opportunity for Cuba to develop a significant ethanol industry. This would present a good opportunity for co-operation agreements with Brazil which is the world leader. However, this would require very significant levels of investment (estimated in the billions for large-scale production).

Cuba’s core agriculture products include:
 
Sugar;
Rice;
Tobacco;
Potatoes;
Citrus;
Beans; and,
Coffee;
Livestock.
 
Cuba has one of the most advanced biotechnology industries among developing countries, with 52 research institutions working on vaccines and therapies for a range of diseases from AIDS to Alzheimer’s, and joint ventures in six countries, including most notably Brazil, China, Iran and India.
 
Cuba is also an active exporter of the following commodities:
 
Sugar;
Medical products;
Nickel;
Citrus; and,
Tobacco;
Coffee.
Fish;
 
 
 
Cuba is a significant importer of the following commodities:
 
Petroleum;
Machinery and equipment; and,
Food;
Chemicals.
  
The Economist Intelligence Unit expected that US sanctions would be eased before the end of 2009. Cuban economic reforms will be gradual, with an expansion in the role of markets and price, wage and exchange rate reforms. Following a public debate on economic policy that proved to be broad and challenging, we expect important economic policy initiatives in the coming months.
 
Primary industrial activities include:
 
Sugar;
Steel;
Petroleum;
Cement;
Tobacco;
Agricultural machinery; and,
Construction;
Pharmaceuticals.
Nickel;

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - continued
 
Market Review - continued
 
The communications industry in Cuba is of particular interest to the Company as its management wishes to focus on transactions in the industry. As a matter of background, Cuba ranks 75th in 2008 among all the world’s countries with 1.1 million telephone main lines and 168th in 2008 among all the world’s countries with 331,700 mobile cellular lines.

While the establishment of a new Ministry of Information Technology and Communications in 2000 has resulted in improvements in the system, wireless service is expensive and must be paid in convertible pesos, which effectively limits mobile cellular subscribership. A domestic national fiber-optic system is under development with 95% of switches digitized by the end of 2006. Fixed telephone line density remains low at less than 10 per 100 inhabitants; domestic cellular service is expanding but remains at only 3 per 100 persons. As of 2008, Cuba held a global rank of 77 with only 1.3 million Internet users; it is important to note that private citizens are prohibited from buying computers or accessing the Internet without special authorization.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

We do not anticipate dependence on one or a few major customers for at least the next 12 months or the foreseeable future.  

Patent, Trademark, License & Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions

We do not intend to obtain any additional trademarks or patents. CBDG has not entered into any franchise agreements or other contracts that have given, or could give rise to obligations or concessions.

Existing or Probable Government Regulations

Our ability to conduct business within Cuba and in the United States with Cuban Nationals and organizations seeking to conduct business in the United States is governed by Title 31 Part 15 of the Federal Code of regulations commonly known as the Cuban Asset Control Regulations. These regulations were issued by the U.S. Government on July 8, 1963, under the Trading with the Enemy Act in response to certain hostile actions by the Cuban government. They are still in force today and affect any person subject to U.S. jurisdiction—including all U.S. citizens and permanent residents wherever they are located, all individuals and organizations physically in the United States, and all branches and subsidiaries of U.S. organizations throughout the world—as well as all persons engaging in transactions that involve property in or otherwise subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. The Regulations are administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). Criminal penalties for violating the Regulations range up to 10 years in prison, $1,000,000 in corporate fines, and $250,000 in individual fines. Civil penalties up to $65,000 per violation may also be imposed.

Research and Development Activities and Costs

CBDG has not incurred any costs to date and has no plans to undertake any research and development activities during the first year of operation.

Compliance With Environmental Laws

We are not aware of any environmental laws that have been enacted, nor are we aware of any such laws being contemplated for the future, that address issues specific to our business.

Facilities

CBDG does not own any property, real or otherwise. We rent executive office facilities in Miami, Florida. This is an  office facility which offers office space for $500 monthly. We may cancel upon 30 days written notice. This location will serve as our primary office for planning and implementing of our plan in the United States. We will continue to use this space for our executive offices for the foreseeable future.

Employees
 
Mr. Hugo M. Cancio, Mr. Ed Steinbeck and Mr. Ariel Machado, our officers and directors, are our only employees and are responsible for all planning, developing and operational duties, and will continue to do so throughout the early stages of our growth.

There is no intention of hiring other employees until the business has been successfully launched and we have sufficient, sustained revenues flowing to CBDG from our operations or have raised sufficient equity capital. Our officers and directors will do whatever work is required, without paid compensation until our business is to the point of having positive cash flow. Human resource planning will be part of an ongoing process that will include regular evaluation of operations and revenue realization.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERNCE

We will voluntarily make available to securities holders an annual report, including audited financials, on Form 10-K.  We are not currently a fully reporting company, but upon effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; such as quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.

The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at www.sec.gov.

PLAN OF OPERATION

During the first stages of our growth, our officers, directors and employees will provide all the labor required to execute our business plan, and since we intend to operate with very limited administrative support, they will continue to be responsible for the majority of labor required for at least the first year of operations.  Management plans to hire additional employees or outsource labor as required during the first year of operations. Due to limited financial resources, each of the management team will dedicate approximately half a week’s time in order to carry out its operations.

We are a development stage enterprise with limited operations. We have had limited revenues, financial backing and assets.  Our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to determine, analyze and promote the present opportunities available for business development in and with Cuba until the trade embargo is lifted or softened with the United States. We believe our presence and unique background and strategy will save companies time and expense by helping them develop and undertake a targeted approach to doing business in Cuba  under the guidelines of the Trade Sanctions Reforms and Export Enhancement Act (TSRA) of 2000, or until such time as some or all restrictions are lifted. Our strategic consulting consortium  can assist companies in  creating and implementing comprehensive procedures to approach business transactions with Cuba or Cuban nationals in a legally compliant manner.

For the near term we plan to:

 
File on form S-1 our registration statement to become effective within 3 months of the date filed.
 
Define the initial market for Cuban businesses until the trade embargo with it is curtailed or eliminated.
 
Drafting of necessary documentation for presentation to relevant enterprises and government agencies.
 
Develop our contacts with individuals and organizations in the entertainment field as a primary business source based on our 20 year background in that industry.
 
Pursue with Cuba, its present business contacts beyond its borders, so that we may further understand and aid in the development of such businesses.
 
Raise suitable financing through one or more private placements of our common stock.
 
Joint venture or manage potential partners for identified projects.
 
Assist US companies with obtaining licenses for exporting to Cuba under the guidelines of the TSRA of 2000.

Our business objectives are:
 
 
To facilitate the development and/or enhancement of a variety of businesses between Cuba and its neighbors for a share of the revenues or profits generated thereby.
 
Providing leadership and experience in international business between Cuba and the world.

PLAN OF OPERATION - continued
 
ACTIVITIES TO DATE

After our formation in September, 2009 we developed our business plan and objectives as stated above. After November 20, 2009, we identified and participated directly in the presentation of Cuban entertainers in a US tour for which we earned our first revenues.

We are currently helping clients that are involved in the entertainment business, market to promote Cuban artists on tour in the United States under the cultural exchange act. We identify popular Cuban acts and artists, up- coming new acts and artists for companies and organizations that are currently involved in producing cultural events in the United States. We have contacts with singers, music groups, painters, dance companies, writers, actors, film directors, and intellectuals.  Utilizing our knowledge and relationships developed over the years, we have been able to help clients do business in this field, get ahead of its competitors, meet with Cuban business counterparts, and establish contacts with companies already doing business in Cuba.

Milestones
 
The following is a chronological itemization of the milestones we hope to achieve over the next 12 months. We are currently in the first month of these milestones noted below.
 
March 2010 – June 2010

Complete our registration statement on Form S-1.        

July 2010 – October 2010

Raise suitable financing through one or more private placements of our common stock to enable us to reach a positive cash flow position during our planned operations.

Identify the businesses we should pursue through Cuban contacts until the trade embargo restrictions with Cuba are curtailed or eliminated.

Commence filing periodic financial statements as a reporting company pursuant to the effectiveness of our registration statement.
 
 November 2010 – March 2011

Earn substantial revenues and obtain adequate cash flows pursuant to our business plan.

Liquidity and Cash Resources

We have raised $12,750 from the sale of stock through a private placement to 6 non-affiliated investors for the period from inception through November 30, 2009. We have incurred expenses since inception totaling $17,906 during the same period for our incorporation and operating expenses. Our budgeted operating cash expenditures for the next 12 months through March 2011 are approximately $450,438 and our budgeted cash flow from gross profit is $170,000. Therefore, we presently have budgeted a zero cash position from operations as of March 2010 and a need for additional capital from the sale of securities of approximately $280,000, of which $25,000 has been sold under a stock subscription for 100,000 shares.
 
How long we are able to satisfy its cash requirements depends on how quickly we can generate revenue and how much revenue can be generated. We must generate at least $450,000 in gross profit from March 1, 2010 to March  31, 2011, in order to fund all operating cash expenditures under our present business plan. Gross profit is defined as gross sales net of the direct product costs.

If we fail to generate sufficient cash flows from sales and/or gross profit based on our forecast of expenditures, we will need to raise sufficient capital to continue in existence.  We cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we cannot secure additional financing from outside sources or our existing shareholder base, we may not be able to meet our milestones, and may need to discontinue operations. Any further shortfall will affect our ability to expand or even continue our operations. We cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

There are also no plans or expectations to purchase or sell any significant equipment in the first year of operations.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

CBDG does not own any property, real or otherwise. We rent executive office facilities in Miami, Florida. This is an  office facility which offers office space for $500 monthly. We may cancel upon 30 days written notice. This location will serve as our primary office for planning and implementing of our plan in the United States. We will continue to use this space for our executive offices for the foreseeable future.

We believe our current premises are adequate for our current operations and we do not anticipate that we will require any additional premises in the foreseeable future.

We do not have any investments or interests in any real estate.  Our company does not invest in real estate mortgages, nor does it invest in securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Other than the transactions discussed below, CBDG has not entered into any transaction nor are there any proposed transactions in which any director, executive officer, shareholder of CBDG or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest.

Since we did not have a bank account, initially, we were advanced funds for our overhead and operating expenses by our President since our inception, September 21, 2009. During the period ended November 30, 2009, our President provided advances for various incurred general and administration fees of $11,500. We also accrued $5,750 for consulting fees and $1,150 for rent of our office space for the same officer. We also agreed to pay our President $2,500 per month for providing his services, and also $500 rent for our office space in his home. No accruals to our President have been paid since he took office on September 21, 2009.  As of November 30, 2009, we owed our President $6,900 in accounts payable – related party, and $11,500 in shareholder advances.

On September 21, 2009, we issued 7,000,000 shares of our common stock to our CEO, President and Director, Hugo M. Cancio, for services rendered in connection with the formation and organization of the Company for an aggregate value of $700.00, or $0.0001 per share.

On September 21, 2009, we issued 200,000 shares of our common stock to our Vice President of Operations, Ariel Machado for services rendered in connection with our formation and organization at an approximate aggregate value of  $20.00, or $.0001 per share.

On September 21, 2009, we entered into agreements with two directors for their services as board members of the Company. The agreements were effective for a calendar year, and they will hold office until their successor is elected and qualified. We also granted each Director 30,000 restricted shares of our common stock, and agreed to reimburse them for reasonable pre-approved expenses related to the performance of their board duties. We also agreed to pay them $500 per in person meeting they attended and $100 per board conference call.

On September 21, 2009, we entered into two agreements with our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and a Controller. The agreement with our CFO was for a one year period and was for $1,000 per month for the first five months and $2,000 per month thereafter. The CFO resigned on January 21, 2010, terminating his agreement effective as of that date, and declining all additional amounts owed to him. We also agreed to pay our Controller $1,500 per month from the date of inception, September 21, 2009, for a period of one year, and then to automatically renew on a monthly basis after that until terminated by either party. We also agreed to grant our Controller 1,030,000 shares of our common stock. On January 21, 2010, we amended our existing agreement with our controller to change his title to Chief Financial Officer when the previous CFO resigned.


MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information

Currently there is no public trading market for our stock, and we have not applied to have CBDG’s common stock listed.  We intend to apply to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.  No trading symbol has yet been assigned.

Rules governing low-price stocks that may affect our  stockholders' ability to resell shares of our common stock

Our stock currently is not traded on any stock exchange or quoted on any stock quotation system.  Upon the registration statement in which this prospectus is included becoming effective, we will apply for quotation of our common stock on the FINRA's OTCBB.
 
 
 
 
26

 
 
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS - continued
 
Quotations on the OTCBB reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not reflect actual transactions.  CBDG’s common stock may be subject to certain rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks".  Penny stocks generally are securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that the exchange or system provides current price and volume information with respect to transaction in such securities.  The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.

The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to make a special suitability determination for the purchaser to receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock.  In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.  A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities.  Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

Holders
 
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have 73 shareholders of record of CBDG common stock. We are registering 999,000 shares of our common stock held by 14 non-affiliated investors under the Securities Act of 1933 for sale by the selling securities holders named in this prospectus. This does not include the 13,941,656 shares of common stock held by our Officers and Directors.

Dividends.
 
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have not paid any dividends to our shareholders. There are no restrictions which would limit the ability of CBDG to pay dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend; CBDG would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or its total assets would be less than the sum of the total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

Difficulty to resell CBDG stock, as the Company has no expectations to pay cash dividends in the near future
 
The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, and if, declared by the board of directors.  We will not be paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead we will be retaining any and all earnings to finance the growth of our business.  To date, we have not paid cash dividends on our common stock.  This lack of an ongoing return on investment may make it difficult to sell our common stock and if the stock is sold the seller may be forced to sell the stock at a loss.

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and the bylaws.

Nevada corporation law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Nevada corporation law also provides that to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our company to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law. Our Bylaws require us to indemnify any present and former directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, trustees and each person who serves in any such capacities at our request against all costs, expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities and all amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, action, suit or proceeding brought against such person by reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee, agent, partner or trustees of our company. We will only indemnify such persons if one of the groups set out below determines that such person has conducted themselves in good faith and that such person:

 
-
reasonably believed that their conduct was in or not opposed to our company’s best interests; or
 
-
with respect to criminal proceedings had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

Our Bylaws also require us to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of our company to procure a judgment in our company’s favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of our company or is or was serving at the request of our company in any such capacities against all costs, expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities and all amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person. We will only indemnify such persons if one of the groups set out below determined that such persons have conducted themselves in good faith and that such person reasonably believed that their conduct was in or not opposed to our company’s best interests. Unless a court otherwise orders, we will not indemnify any such person if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty to our company.

The determination to indemnify any such person must be made:
 
-
by our stockholders;
 
-
by our board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
 
-
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
 
-
by court order.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Nevada law or otherwise, our company has been advised that the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Nevada law or otherwise, we have been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our company in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

UNDERTAKINGS

CBDG hereby undertakes the following:

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 
(a) 
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 
(b)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement, or most recent post-effective amendment, which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; and

 
(c)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the Offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide Offering thereof.

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the Offering.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, CBDG has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of the directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of the directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, CBDG will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and CBDG will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant under Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Cuba Business Development Group, Inc.
Miami, Florida
 
 
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cuba Business Development Group, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of November 30, 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows from inception (September 21, 2009) through November 30, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cuba Business Development Group, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of November 30, 2009 and the results of its operations and cash flows from inception (September 21, 2009) through November 30, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and the Company has an accumulated deficit of ($17,906), all of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regards to these matters is also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CUBA BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
From inception (September 21, 2009) through November 30, 2009
 
Note 1 – BUSINESS

Cuba Business Development Group, Inc., (“CBDG”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or “its”), which was formed on September 21, 2009, as a Nevada corporation, was spun off from Fuego Enterprises, Inc (FUEGO), our former parent Company, to the shareholders of FUEGO.  The shareholders of FUEGO received four shares of CBDG for every one share held in FUEGO resulting in total shares issued as a result of spin off of 10,381,297.  No assets or liabilities were included in the spin off and there was no previous history or operations of CBDG.

The spin off forming CBDG was done for the purposes of establishing a separate publicly held entity to be the exclusive marketing and sales representative for the world-wide marketing and sales of Fuego’s entertainment concerts, performances, and special events. CBDG will also sponsor and promote some of its own events independent from Fuego.

The Company is in the development stage as defined under FASB ASC 915-10, "Development Stage Entities". Since inception it has had no operations. We are in the process of establishing ourselves as a company that will focus its operations on providing consulting, sales representation, and marketing representation to the entertainment industry, public companies and private companies from Cuba interested in establishing business contacts in the United States. Additionally, the Company will broker business contracts between business partners in the United States and Europe and business partners in Cuba in fulfillment of our business plan. We plan to generate revenue from the commission fees we will charge for establishing the business contracts upon acceptance of them by each party. The Company’s year-end is November 30.

 
Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to more likely than not be realized in future tax returns. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 718 “Stock Compensation.” Options granted to consultants, independent representatives and other non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method as prescribed by ASC 718.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
From inception (September 21, 2009) through November 30, 2009
 
Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Earnings (loss) Per Common Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10,"Earnings per Share". FASB ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 480-10, disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash at fair market value.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB ASC 860-10, “Transfers and Servicing”. FASB ASC 860-10 amends the criteria for a transfer of a financial asset to be accounted for as a sale, redefines a participating interest for transfers of portions of financial assets, eliminates the qualifying special-purpose entity concept and provides for new disclosures. FASB ASC 860-10 is effective for the Company beginning in 2010. Should the Company’s accounts receivable securitization programs not qualify for sale treatment under the revised rules, future securitization transactions entered into would be classified as debt and the related cash flows would be reflected as a financing activity. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on its securitization programs.

In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”. The guidance provided in this update is effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. The adoption of this statement has had no material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides amendments to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The adoption of this update will have no material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-01, “Equity (Topic 505-10): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)”.  This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-01 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary”.  This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP.  It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP.  An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10).  For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-02 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-6, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This update requires additional disclosure within the roll forward of activity for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the update requires enhanced disclosures of the valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurements within Levels 2 and 3. The new disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. As ASU 2010-6 only requires enhanced disclosures, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
From inception (September 21, 2009) through November 30, 2009
 
Note 3 – GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a net loss for the period from inception (September 21, 2009) to November 30, 2009 of $17,906 and negative cash flows from development stage activities of $10,894. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional debt and/or equity financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
 
 
Note 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Since we did not have a bank account, initially, we were advanced funds for our overhead and operating expenses by our President since our inception, September 21, 2009. During the period ended November 30, 2009, our President provided advances for the prepayment of legal service fees of $10,000 and various incurred general and administration fees of $1,500. We also accrued $5,750 for consulting fees and $1,150 for rent of our office space for the same officer. We also agreed to pay our President $2,500 per month for providing his services, and also $500 rent for our office space in his home. No accruals to our President have been paid since he took office on September 21, 2009.  As of November 30, 2009, we owed our President $6,900 in accounts payable – related party, and $11,500 in shareholder advances.
 
On September 21, 2009, we entered into agreements with two directors for their services as board members of the Company. The agreements were effective for a calendar year, and they will hold office until their successor is elected and qualified. We also granted each Director 30,000 restricted shares of our common stock (see Note 5- Stockholders’ Deficit), and agreed to reimburse them for reasonable pre-approved expenses related to the performance of their board duties. We also agreed to pay them $500 per in person meeting they attended and $100 per board conference call.
 
On September 21, 2009, we entered into two agreements with our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and a Controller. The agreement with our CFO was for a one year period and was for $1,000 per month for the first five months and $2,000 per month thereafter. The CFO resigned on January 21, 2010, terminating his agreement effective as of that date, and declining all additional amounts owed to him. We also agreed to pay our Controller $1,500 per month from the date of inception, September 21, 2009, for a period of one year, and then to automatically renew on a monthly basis after that until terminated by either party. We also agreed to grant our Controller 1,030,000 shares of our common stock. (See Note 5- Stockholders’ Deficit). On January 21, 2010, we amended our existing agreement with our controller to change his title to Chief Financial Officer when the previous CFO resigned.
 
As of November 30, 2009, our accounts payable – related party was $14,800. This balance included, $6,900 owed to our President for services and rent, $4,450 owed to our CFO, and $3,450 owed to our Vice President.
 
 
Note 5 – PREPAID EXPENSES
 
Included in prepaid expenses as of November 30, 2009, was a prepayment to our SEC attorney for the preparation of a S1 Registration statement in the amount of $10,000.

The net operating loss carryforward and deferred start up costs are the components of deferred tax assets for income tax purposes as of November 30, 2009, of approximately $16,318 which was reduced to zero after considering the valuation allowance of $16,318, since there is no assurance of future taxable income.
