A UK shelf company is a private limited company by shares that was registered at Companies House in 2025 and has not traded. Instead of forming a new company, you take over one that already exists, with its own incorporation date and filing history.
The company has a clean record of dormant accounts and confirmation statement filings. After you order, we assign a shelf company to you, appoint you as director, transfer the shares using a J30 stock transfer form and send you high-definition digital copies of the Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association.
The process is online with no paperwork, and you can manage the company from our free online company management portal.
