Costa Rica Shelf Companies Explained
If you are not familiar with the term shelf company, please take a minute to read the following basic explanation.
A shelf corporation or also known as an aged corporation is a term used to refer to an entity, normally of limited liability, that has been properly incorporated, in this case in Costa Rica. This corporation has had no activity, and it is created by a law firm or incorporation company, with the intention of selling it later on to an individual or economic group. Usually, this individual or economic group wants to avoid the procedures of incorporation, necessary to form a new Costa Rica Company. The shelf corporation allows them to avoid the process, and by purchasing an existing, non active, Costa Rica Shelf Company, they can immediately conduct business transactions.
It is also common to purchase an aged Costa Rica corporation, which has "matured" on a shelf and that can be used to show a registration date of many years, or months as this can be beneficial for certain purposes. When you purchase a Costa Rica Shelf Company, it is necessary to verify that the company has not had any type of business activity, in order to avoid liabilities of prior beneficiaries.
As a reputable Costa Rica company, GLC does not believe in the "old benefits" of purchasing a Costa Rica Shelf Company. We do not believe in obscure negotiations or schemes. The only reason why we are pro Costa Rica Shelf Company is to accelerate incorporation processing.
