Shelf Companies

What Is A Shelf Company?

A shelf company is a company which has been registered and left with no activity for several months or even years to age. The aged company can then be bought by yourself and transferred into your name.

We register several companies each month for the sole purpose of becoming shelf companies. You can then buy one of these companies, change the name of the company, change the directors and shareholders into your own name then you are the legal owner of an established company.

Why Should I Buy A Shelf Company?

One of the main reasons to purchase a shelf company is to create an appearance that the business has been established for longer than it actually has. It’s possible to purchase a shelf company which was formed 3 years ago which would give the impression to clients and investors that you have been running the business for 3 years when in fact you’ve only recently purchased the company.
