Frequently Asked Questions about Cyprus Shelf Companies

How to buy a shelf company in Cyprus?

Buying a shelf company involves selecting an entity from our list, completing a standard KYC check, and signing a share purchase agreement. Once the transfer is signed, the company is effectively yours to use for contracts and business dealings while the Registrar of Companies is updated with the new officer details.

Yes. Our shelf companies are “clean” entities with guaranteed zero assets and zero liabilities. We provide a full indemnity letter from the nominee incorporators confirming the entity has never traded.

A shelf company is a clean, inactive entity created specifically to be sold for legitimate business use. A shell company is often used to describe an entity that has no significant assets or active business operations, sometimes used for holding assets or, in negative contexts, to obscure ownership. Our shelf companies are 100% compliant and dormant until you activate them.

The main points are speed and prestige. It allows you to trade immediately and gives the appearance of longevity. An older registration date can be a prerequisite for certain government tenders, trade licenses, or corporate credit lines that require a company to have existed for a specific number of years.

Yes. While the company comes with a pre-approved name, you can change it at any time after the purchase. However, if your primary goal is speed, we recommend using the existing name initially and changing it later to avoid waiting for the Registrar’s approval process.

Yes, we maintain a portfolio of companies registered in various years (e.g., 2021, 2022, 2023). These “aged companies” are highly sought after by founders who need to demonstrate a history of existence to conservative banks or high-level contract partners.

When buying from an unverified source, there is a risk of hidden debts. However, our shelf companies are kept dormant in our office from day one. They have never had bank accounts or tax filings, meaning they are “virgin” entities with a 100% clean slate.

There is a premium for the convenience of speed and the maintenance costs of the entity’s “age.” However, for most businesses, the ability to start trading 10 days earlier provides an immediate ROI that outweighs the setup fee.
