Ready-Made Singapore Company
("Shelf Company")
Although registration of a company in Singapore is usually
very fast, certain client still prefer a ready-made shelf
company to avoid any potential delays during the incorporation process.
If you are one of such clients, we can provide you with a
ready-made shelf company. Note that the fee for a shelf
company is higher than incorporating a new company.
Ready-made, or "shelf" companies are
private limited companies that are already incorporated by us and available for immediate
purchase. Shelf companies have not done any business and have not
entered into any dealings or obligations whatsoever. As the
name suggests, the incorporation documents of these companies have
been kept "on the shelf" in our office, without any practical
usage whatsoever.
