WHAT IS A SHELF CORPORATION?

A shelf company is a corporation that has been formed but has never been used, hence it is sitting on the "shelf". Owning a shelf corporation means you are purchasing business history, benefits of which include business image and improved visibility that enhance with age.

Banks and financing companies consider the age of a corporation favorably when applying for loans, trade lines and bank accounts. Business credit and financing becomes easier as the corporation ages. Business age inspires more confidence when approaching clients, suppliers, financial institutions to name a few.

Should you wish to make any changes to the corporation, such as the legal name, adding a trade name, change of head office jurisdiction on a federal corporation, for example, please review and select from the options at time of purchase.
