A shelf company is also known as an aged company. It is an entity that was formed earlier but not in use. Many also call this type of company a ready-made company because they are set up previously and ready for purchase by new owners.
A shelf company is the quickest way for entrepreneurs and business owners to establish their companies without putting themselves in the exhausting and time-sucking process of setting up a new establishment.
The age of the shelf company not only contributes to the positive perception of the company but also the key to credits when it comes to financing and gaining clients.

Why should You Buy an Existing Company over Establishing a New Company?
The speed of availability of an existing shelf company is the crucial factor contributing to so many other benefits.
Here we will elaborate further why you should choose a shelf company in Vietnam over setting up a new company:
- The company registration process timeline for a new company in Vietnam is much longer than purchasing an existing company, about 14 working days, provided that all submitted documents are valid and complete.
- Since the company is brand new, it will take the business months, or even years to build a strong network and credibility.
- A lot more steps are involved in the incorporation process of a new company compared to purchasing an existing company. These additional time-consuming steps are license application, bank account opening, and other paperwork.
- A brand new company may have trouble gaining access to credit and bank approval since the business is lacking history.
- A new company may be forbidden to perform certain business activities until the company has obtained relevant business and operational licenses. Also, these licenses require significant time for its application, submission, and approval.
