A ready-made company, available today

A shelf company, as the name suggests, is one that's "bought off the shelf" — already incorporated, but not yet used for any trading activity. It's a genuine, efficient way to get a company up and running in as little as 24 hours, rather than the usual 3–5 working days it takes to incorporate one from scratch.

Why founders choose a shelf company

• Quicker and reliable — since it's already registered with the CRO, only the director, officer and shareholder details need to change.
• Boosts credibility — showing a longer history of existence helps build trust with customers, suppliers and bankers.
• Helps win contracts — some industries require a company to have existed for a minimum period before it can bid on contracts.
• Faster bank approval — it's often quicker to open a business bank account for an aged company than a newly registered one.
