Procedure to acquire a ready made company

Your chosen directors and shareholders of the new company sign official documents that allow us to make them the directors of your ready made company. We transfer the company into your power and it is ready to trade immediately.

Changing the company name of the Ready Made Company

We can also file a company name change the same day.

Appointing the new Directors

To appoint the directors of your new company you will need to sign official forms that state this. This can also be done through giving us a power of attorney to do this on your behalf.

We will be removed as directors of the company and it will be transferred over to you. You then receive the Certificate of Incorporation , Memorandum and Articles of Association of the company and the Company secretarial Forms.

Established Ready Made Shelf Companies, sometimes called old shelf or established companies, are dormant / inactive companies that were incorporated in the previous years but have never been active.

However, Incorporation now happens quite quickly

Many years ago it would take months to properly incorporate a business. It is now quite easy to do so in many countries. In fact, it can be done in as little as a couple of hours in some jurisdictions.

We also offer Established, Aged or Shelf companies

These are all names for a company that has been incorporated at a previous date and left to 'age'. The companies have filed dormant accounts since they were established and have never previously traded.

Established companies are guaranteed to be clear of any debts or liabilities.

An established company can be beneficial for the following reasons:

For some potential business associates, the age of your company can affect whether they choose to do business with you, this is because the number of years a company has been in business can affect a creditors confidence in your company.

In many countries, government contracts may only be awarded to companies that have been trading for a number of years. In order to secure these contracts an aged corporation may be beneficial.

When trying to obtain corporate credit for your company, one who has been incorporated longer will recieve preferential treatment compared to a new incorporation as it will appear to have more credibility.

Other reaosns include:

• Corporate image is enhanced with age
• Building corporate credit is easier with age
• Many lenders require a minimum of 2 and usually 3 years history in order to establish corporate credit history
• Some computer companies lease only to corporations 12 months old or more
• An instant company history can be established
