Shelf Companies (Pre-Incorporated)
Adopt a company that has been in existence for a period. Assume a pre-determine share structure. Save the time involved in creating a new company. Illustrate longevity.
Cyberbahn registers several shelf companies on a yearly basis. These companies have no activity and have never been used. They sit on a “shelf” waiting to be purchased. Each shelf company comes with its articles and Certificate of Incorporation and a set share structure.
You may decide to adopt a shelf company to increase your chances to bid on contracts as some bids require a company to be in business for a period. You may want to show longevity to attract customers or investors. There may be a perception that a company improves with age or it may simplify the credit process.
Shelf Companies are registered in advance and available for purchase. These companies have pre-established incorporation dates. All shelf companies have been created but have never been used. Information is kept up-to-date to ensure compliance.All shelf companies we offer for sale are numbered companies with a pre-set share structure. These can easily be changed into a named company by filing Articles of Amendment along with a name search report.
Cyberbahn will also complete all necessary documentation to remove the pre-set director and officer and add the new director(s) and officer(s) of your choice.
Feature and Benefits

Pursuant to the Extra-Provincial Corporations Act for each province, if you would like to conduct business in any other province or territory you must register extra-provincially in the province in which you will be doing business. The extra-provincial registration process varies per province in terms of the necessary steps to take as well as the fees that may apply.To register the company in other provinces successfully, you need to order a NUANS name search report or provincial name search report (depending on specific requirement in each province) in order to determine the availability of the company name in that jurisdiction. Keep in mind thought that it is possible that your corporation name may already exist in other provinces, unless federally incorporated.
Registering your business extra-provincially will allow you to carry on the following activities in the specific jurisdiction:
- Hire employees

- Open up bank accounts
If the extra-provincial registrations are domestic (within Canada), you are not required to file annual returns in the extra-provincial provinces, filing the annual return for your home province will suffice.
The filed extra-provincial registration(s) will also form part of the minute book you are required to maintain for your corporation.
