What Is a Shelf Corporation?
A legally formed, aged business entity that has never operated.
It has been “sitting on the shelf,” aging over time—ready to be transferred to you.
What’s included:
-
✔️ 4+ years of business age
-
✔️ LLCs & Corporations available
-
✔️ Clean history (never operated)
What’s NOT included:
-
❌ No existing business credit
(You must leverage personal credit for funding)
Why Shelf Corporations Are Powerful
Shelf corps are not magic—but when used correctly, they give you leverage.
-
Higher funding potential
Aged entities often qualify for larger approvals. -
Access to more business products
Fewer “no-doc” roadblocks. -
Holding company strategy
Use the shelf corp as a parent company. -
Faster execution
Skip the 2–4 year seasoning wait.
Who This Is For
- Entrepreneurs with good personal credit
- Business owners looking to maximize funding
- Investors running a holding company structure
Who This Is NOT For
❌ Bad personal credit
❌ Anyone looking for “no PG” funding
Important: Some banks (e.g., PNC) do not recognize shelf corporations. Applying blindly will get you denied—we guide strategy first.
How It Works
-
Purchase the shelf corporation (Ownership transfer takes 5–8 business days)
-
Open & fund a business bank account
-
Begin applying for business credit & funding
Execution matters. Poor setup delays approvals.
Important Setup Note
If your business is not structured correctly, you risk:
-
Funding delays
-
Verification failures
-
Flat-out denials
Foreign filings, address consistency, and entity setup must be done right.
