  Why obtain a shelf company?  The shelf corporation or shelf LLC will provide a marketing advantage for your business.  Clients and customers seek stability in their service providers and suppliers.  Acquiring a shelf corporation or shelf LLC allows greater access to a client base that's making a judgment call about you.  The product may be top notch and the service outstanding.  Certain customers are looking for a lack of negatives rather than a list of positives.  This comes from fear of being taken advantage, fear of failure and the seeking of stability in a chaotic world.  Because of this purchasing behavior, it may be advisable to acquire a shelf company.

  In what state should the shelf company be formed?

  If acquiring a shelf company, then those formed in Delaware, Nevada and Wyoming are great alternatives. 

  • Delaware serves the interests of big business.
  • Nevada is best for trade shows and conventions, if your business is dependent on this activity for marketing.
  • Wyoming is superior for small business.

  After you acquire the shelf company, simply file to do business in the state of choice.

  How much should you pay for a shelf company?

  The market rate is $1000 for each year that it's aged.  Filing fees also play a large part in the market rate.  For example, Nevada shelf companies are more expensive than Delaware or Wyoming because the filing fees are greater in Nevada.  These costs are passed on the business owner acquiring the shelf company.

  How do you determine that the company is clean from liabilities?

  Get it in writing.  Ideally, the company should have no assets and no liabilities.  Make certain that the provider should have plenty of shelf companies to keep them honest.  Think twice before buying a shelf company from someone who is not in the business of selling them.

  What's the difference between the Delaware shelf companies and those of other states?
