What Is a Shelf Company?

A shelf company is a company that has already been registered and is available for purchase and transfer to a new owner.

Instead of registering a completely new company, you purchase an existing registered company and the required changes are made to reflect the new directors, registered address and other company information.

At B Doyle & Associates, we offer both current-year shelf companies and aged shelf companies, giving you flexibility depending on your business requirements.

Why Buy a Shelf Company?

A shelf company can be a convenient option when you want to acquire an already registered company rather than starting with a new company registration.

Ready-Made Company

Purchase a company that has already been registered.

Different Options Available

Choose between current-year and aged shelf companies according to your requirements.

Flexible Packages

Select anything from a straightforward shelf company to packages that include company name changes and additional registrations.

Professional Support

Our experienced consultants manage the required company changes and guide you through the process.

Current-Year vs Aged Shelf Companies

A current-year shelf company has been registered during the current year and is suitable if you simply need an already registered company.

Aged Shelf Company

An aged shelf company has an earlier incorporation date. Our available aged shelf companies currently range from 2017 to 2024.
