What Is a Shelf Company?
A shelf company is an existing registered company that has generally been kept inactive and is available for transfer to a new owner. It is also commonly referred to as a ready-made or pre-registered company.
Instead of registering a completely new company, you take ownership of an existing company and update the relevant company records to reflect the new directors and shareholders.
However, buying a shelf company does not mean your compliance responsibilities disappear. The company’s history, registrations and status should be understood before you make a purchase.
