What is a ready-made company?

A UK shelf company (also called a ready-made or aged company) is a limited company already registered at Companies House. You buy it and we transfer it into your name.

Start straight away

A ready-made company lets you start trading without waiting for a new registration.

More credibility

An earlier incorporation date can make your business look more established.

Simple set-up

The company comes registered, with its legal documents ready.

Easier financing

Banks and investors may be more willing to work with an established company.

Choose a name

Pick from names that are already registered, with no risk of losing yours during set-up.

Tenders

Some contracts ask for a minimum company age. An older company can help.
