What Is a Shelf Corporation?
A shelf corporation is a pre-registered company that has been “on the shelf” and inactive since its incorporation. These corporations are legally established but have never conducted business, making them a blank slate for new owners.
Benefits of Shelf Corporations:
- Instant Business Credibility – Older incorporation dates can make your business appear more established, helping secure contracts, loans, and investor trust.
- Faster Access to Financing – Banks and lenders often prefer businesses with longer histories, making it easier to qualify for loans and credit lines.
- Bypass Waiting Periods – Some government contracts and tenders require businesses to be operational for a minimum period (e.g., 1-2 years). A shelf corporation meets this requirement immediately.
- Quick Business Launch – Avoid the delays of registering a new corporation and start operating right away.
