What is an offshore shelf company?
An offshore shelf company is an offshore company (also know as an offshore corporation, International Business Corporation or IBC) that has already been in existence for weeks, months or years – sometimes many years. Most shelf companies are literally sitting on a shelf waiting to be purchased, thus the name “shelf company”. A shelf company affords the same privacy and asset protection advantages that a newly formed offshore company provides. “What are the benefits of an offshore company?”.
