Shelf Companies
Dormant companies, ready for you to take over
A shelf company (also sometimes known as a ready made company) is a company that has been formed but never traded. They’re ideal if you require a company number extremely quickly or if you need to operate as an older company.
All of our shelf companies are up to date with their Dormant Company Accounts and Confirmation Statement filing obligations.

Buy NowHow it works
- Select ‘Buy Now’ for either the standard or premium service for the year you want
- We'll automatically email you the shelf company template, for you to complete with your chosen company name
- We'll then make the relevant appointments and resignations (please note the name has not been reserved until the template has been returned to us)
- We'll complete the J30 stock transfer form and, with the premium service only, we’ll also file a confirmation statement to notify Companies House of the new shareholding details.
- With the premium package, you will also be able to update the company name directly from your online admin portal.
Why buy a shelf company?
- Simplicity - The process is quick and easy with a company number available straight away.
- Longevity - This can boost investor or consumer confidence. Some jurisdictions actually require that a company be in business for a certain length of time before signing contracts.
