Shelf Companies

A Shelf Company is the name given to a “readymade company” that has obtained all registrations and filings required to start doing business.

Often, whether for companies that have recently arrived in Brazil or to take part in special developments, such as tenders and opening of subsidiaries of multinational companies, one has to have a structure ready.

It is known that one of the major obstacles to doing business in Brazil is the time spent to open the business.

Quickly and securely, the Shelf Company prevents various bureaucratic proceedings, which have been completed.

For services directly related to changes of the company’s control, we offer many of them already included in the Shelf Company’s purchase price.
