What is a Shelf Company?
The term “Shelf” refers to the fact that incorporation documents are literally purchased of a bookshelf filled with pre-registered companies that are instantly transferable to the buyer. As the official corporate documents for a new company can often take up to 2 weeks to arrive, company names are normally pre-registered to save waiting time. The cost to purchase a CMS ready made company and a company with your own chosen name is the same. Other common names include a “Shell company” and a “Ready-made company”.
