Ready-Made Aged Shelf Companies
We have a ready inventory of aged shelf companies available for sale with a guaranteed 24 hour turnaround. Their incorporation dates range from 2018 to 2024. Pricing varies according to the age of the company and the jurisdiction of incorporation.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF AN AGED SHELF COMPANY OVER A NEWLY-INCORPORATED COMPANY?
- Longer track record means increased credibility in the eyes of clients, investors and partners
- Much easier to obtain credit facilities such as overdrafts, credit cards and loans
- Save valuable time on incorporating a new company from scratch
All of our companies were incorporated with the help of our nominees between 2018 – 2024. The nominee is listed on all documents as the legal owner of the company.
You can choose whether or not to retain the services of the nominee after you purchase the company. The standard rate for one year of nominee services is $1,200 for the first year, and $2,400 for each year thereafter.
What is the Process for Taking Over an Aged Shelf Company?
IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO USE A NOMINEE:
- You will be required to complete a KYC process. Your details will be included on all documents, and will be provided to two parties: the Registered Agent and the relevant government authority. Your details will NOT be searchable by the general public*.
- You will need to execute the following documents:
(a) Amended and Restated Articles of Association (or Operating Agreement, in the case of an LLC);
(b) Sale and Purchase Agreement;
(c) Deed of Transfer;
(d) Register of Shareholders (or Register of Members, in the case of an LLC);
(e) Register of Directors (or Register of Managers, in the case of an LLC).
All of these documents will be provided to you for execution. We will also provide an apostille service. All of these documents will be provided to the Registered Agent, as they are evidence of your legal ownership. It is estimated that this process will take 2-3 business days. Once completed, you can start doing business immediately. - We will notify the company’s bank (if applicable) that a change of ownership has taken place, and that you are the new owner. Your details will be provided to the bank, alongside all of the documents (a) to (e). Thereafter, the bank may need to conduct a separate KYC process, and may require additional documents or information from you. This process may take 5-10 business days, depending on the bank’s procedures. You will be able to do business even before the bank approves you, although you may not be able to send or receive payments from the bank account.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE A NOMINEE:
You will be provided with a Sale and Purchase Agreement evidencing the sale of the company to you, signed by the nominee. However, the date will be left blank, meaning that you can claim legal ownership of the company at any time of your choosing. Your details will not be submitted to the Registered Agent or government authorities until you do so.
If the company already has a bank account, you will be provided with online banking access, and the associated e-mail address and phone number can be changed to a new e-mail address and phone number of your choosing. You can use these credentials to communicate with the bank as well as to perform 2FA verifications. The nominee will no longer be able to access the bank account once this is done, as they will not be able to complete the 2FA verification process. This process will take 1 business day or less, and you will not be required to complete the bank’s KYC process.
You will be provided with a signed and apostilled Power of Attorney that gives you full authority to conduct business on behalf of the company, including (but not limited to) giving instructions to the company’s bank. However, you will not be listed on any documents or filings as the legal owner of the company.
If desired, you can also be given a letter of appointment and an employment contract to officially evidence that you are an employee of the company, but not the legal owner.
