Shelf Company

Shelf Company - an Introduction
A shelf company is a company incorporated by us, but not activated, and available for immediate use by a client.

The benefits of a shelf company
The primary benefit of a shelf company is that it is available immediately for use by a client. It also alleviates the need to decide upon a company name.

Why an offshore shelf company?
A BVI shelf company can be very useful when an IBC is needed at short notice for a specific transaction, such as a share purchase or property transaction.

BVI offshore shelf companies
When a client requires a BVI shelf company, they can choose from the shelf companies held by us. We then structure the company by appointing the directors as instructed by the client, and amending any details the client may wish to be changed.

How quickly can you buy an offshore shelf company?
The major benefit of a shelf company is that we can structure the company to the client's needs and courier the documents to the client on the same day as instructions are received by us, subject to our due diligence requirements.

What does a shelf company cost?
The total cost of a shelf company is in the region of US$1,000, subject to additional fees for assistance in providing advice in the structuring the company.

How does a shelf company differ from a normal company?
A shelf company has exactly the same characteristics as a normal company, except that it will have been incorporated at an earlier date.
