WHY US
Canada Shelf Corporation
A Shelf Corporation or aged corporation is a pre-incorporated company that has for a long time been “sitting on the shelf,” ready for use. Canada Incorporation Agency provides a means through which entrepreneurs and firms can acquire shelf corporations quickly, thus providing them with an instantaneous legal entity without undergoing a wait for incorporation.
- Instant Business History: A shelf corporation has an earlier incorporation date, which can make your business appear older and more established to clients, lenders, and partners.
- Faster Access to Contracts and Loans: Some contracts, tenders, and financial institutions require a business to have a minimum age before qualifying - a shelf company can meet this instantly.
- Saves Time on Incorporation: A company that is established appears more reliable and stable, especially in industries that consider age a factor.
- Can Help in Corporate Image: An old company can also help in presenting an image of a long-standing track record, even though commercial operations may be new.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a shelf corporation?
A shelf corporation (also called an aged corporation) is a business that was legally formed but has no activity or operations. It’s created and “put on a shelf” to age, then sold to someone who wants a company with an earlier incorporation date.
Does a shelf corporation come with credit or assets?
No. Reputable shelf corporations are clean — they have no liabilities, assets, or credit history. You build those after purchase.
Is using a shelf corporation legal?
Yes. Buying and using a shelf corporation is legal, but you must update ownership, directors, and address after purchase, and ensure the company complies with all laws and regulations.
Can I change the company name after buying it?
Yes. You can usually rename the corporation as part of the reactivation process, subject to name availability rules.
How long does the company transfer process take?
It can be as fast as 2 business hours.
Do I still need to file taxes and annual returns?
Yes. Even if the company was inactive, you may need to file annual returns and maintain good standing, depending on the jurisdiction.
