Shelf Company

A Ready Made shelf company is where the  company is already incorporated and can be handed over to new officers and shareholders.  These companies have been non trading for a  period and there are many reasons why Directors would require a Shelf Company

  • There are no delays in receiving a company number. You can acquire a company number usually within 24 hours and in many cases same day.
  • Tax planning benefits may arise if you are trading as a Sole Trader or Partnership with a company that has been incorporated in the past.
  • A company incorporated in the past may give more credibility with suppliers, prospects or customers.

Many organisations and individuals require a shelf company as they need to sign a contract with a company in the past for example. The contract would be governed by a company that was incorporated in the past. The changes for Shareholders, Directors and Secretary can all have an effective date in the past.

Acquiring a shelf company, referred to as a ready-made or aged company, either in Ireland or elsewhere, presents a multitude of potential advantages tailored to your precise business goals and circumstances.

  1. Time Efficiency: Shelf companies are pre-established entities reserved for potential buyers. Opting for a shelf company enables you to bypass the laborious process of initiating a new company from the ground up. This is particularly beneficial if swift company establishment is pivotal for capitalizing on a business opportunity or signing a contract.
  2. Perceived Experience and Stability: An established company can convey a sense of endurance and reliability to clients, suppliers, and financial institutions. This could potentially fortify your business’s standing and credibility.
  3. Contractual Bidding: Certain contracts or projects may necessitate a company with a more extensive operating history. Acquiring a shelf company with a substantial track record could fulfill this prerequisite.
  4. Banking and Financial Relationships: Well-established companies might confront fewer hurdles when initiating bank accounts and forming financial connections, crucial for seamless business operations.
  5. Foreign Market Entry: When expanding your business internationally to Ireland or any foreign jurisdiction, a pre-existing Irish company could streamline the process of market entry and local business pursuits.
  6. Privacy Considerations: The use of a shelf company could confer a level of privacy, as your personal information might not be immediately linked to the company’s past activities.
  7. Legal and Tax Benefits: Depending on your specific circumstances and prevailing Irish tax regulations, adopting an existing company could yield legal or tax advantages. Engaging legal and financial experts is pivotal to comprehensively grasp these potential benefits.
  8. Branding and Identity: If the shelf company’s name aligns with your business objectives, you can conserve valuable time and effort in branding and establishing name recognition.
