For those aiming to start quickly, a shelf company saves time and effort
Instead of establishing a company from scratch, you can take over an already registered AG (public limited company) or GmbH (limited liability company) that is currently inactive. But what should you pay attention to? And why can purchasing through Deindomizil be particularly worthwhile?
Shelf companies are legally registered entities that either still have their capital in a blocked account or are already operating with shareholder or partner loans. They are vetted, ready for takeover, and ideal if you need to start a project immediately or require swift operational capability.
At Deindomizil.ch, you'll find a selection of ready-made companies in Switzerland, especially in the canton of Zug, including takeover support, commercial register adjustments, and advice on legally secure structuring.
Key advantages and considerations when purchasing a shelf company
A ready-made company—whether AG or GmbH—offers many benefits but also comes with clear legal requirements:
What is a shelf company?
● A shelf company is a company no longer operational but registered in the commercial register.
● It may still have its share or capital stock in a blocked account or have been transferred as a loan.
● The purpose can be flexibly adjusted (e.g., for FinTech, trading, consulting, holding, real estate).
Advantages at a glance:
● Immediate availability: Start without waiting for incorporation and commercial register entry.
● No need to deposit new capital (capital already present or introduced as a shareholder loan).
● Credibility and trust through existing company history.
● No effort for drafting statutes, incorporation costs, or notary appointments.
What should you watch out for?
● Is the capital still in the blocked account or recorded as a shareholder loan?
● Is there a clean history without legacy issues? (We check for you.)
● Do the purpose, name, and location align with your plans?
● Is a new board member or managing director required?
Our team supports you throughout the takeover, prepares all necessary documents, adjusts the commercial register, and ensures a quick, straightforward start—including, if desired, with a domicile address in Zug.
