Shelf companies

A pre-registered private limited company ready to use. No waiting, no formalities – just a clean company with a blank slate.

What is a shelf company?

A shelf company (pre-registered private limited company) is a company that has already been incorporated and registered in the Brønnøysund Register Centre, but has never conducted any form of business.

The company has a clean history – no debt, no encumbrances and no activity. It is an empty company ready to be put to use immediately.

Skraib AS keeps such companies "in stock", making them available for rapid transfer to buyers who need an operational private limited company quickly.
