Shelf companies are pre-registered companies that may have an operational history or may be entirely new. They are created and kept “on the shelf,” hence the name.
A shelf company is a company that has been registered but has never conducted any business activities and holds no assets or liabilities. Essentially, it was created to “sit on the shelf” awaiting its buyer. Shelf companies are registered under a specific name, but the original name can be changed to one more suitable for the owner’s business.
