Buying a Shelf Corporation - Good? Bad? Pros? Cons?

spencerparikh

I would like to know if anyone has had experience in buying a shelf corporation. Why did you decide to go this route over starting a new corporation? Was this a good or bad decision?

Wow I find it pretty funny, that is asking for advice on the pros and cons of shelf companies and everyone here is just trying to sell to him.

When buying a Shelf Corp be sure to never pay up front fees. If you must, use a system that has an escrow feature. I've heard of many people getting scammed when paying up front fees.
I recently came across a new website called Verifico that offers all sorts of funding services, both business and personal. They had PG and NO PG Shelf Corps listed. They claim that all services on their platform have been verified effective and safe, and they also use an escrow feature when dealing upfront frees. Here is the the link to the Shelf Corps I saw listed on their siteVerifico Non PG Shelf Corp

Shelf Corporations do come with an existing line of credit. You do have to analyse your financial position  and then purchase one. Chanced upon http://www.bdc-canada.com , you could get some pointers here...

Shelf companies are a good idea and can be beneficial for a new business owner with business sense but has limited years in the game. obtaining a shelf company that has age puts that party amongst the players and allows him/her to compete. 
 
The downside is most shelf companies are not being sold by honorable persons, therefore the companies that are being sold may have problems, such as bankruptcies, other liens, IRS issues, etc. Just be careful and research the company that sells you a shelf company
