What is the fraud alert around old-shelf companies?

Buying an aged company with existing credit profiles and then using it to get financing can be illegal; it may be considered a loan.

Important Legal Notice

AssetProfile provides an administrative service for the formation, maintenance, and transfer of companies that are in good standing, but completely dormant and inactive business entities (corporations and LLCs) with zero operating history, revenue, employees, tax filings (beyond formation), assets, liabilities, or credit history. The “age” of a company refers solely to the time elapsed since its original formation date on public records and the fact that it has remained in good standing with the Secretary of State. The entity has no operating history, revenue, employees, or business activity during that period — it is a completely dormant legal entity that has been “shelved” (kept in good standing but inactive) since its formation, which is why such entities are called “shelf companies.” AssetProfile is not a business broker and does not broker the sale of operating businesses. We facilitate the transfer of ownership of new or aged dormant legal entities only. After transfer of ownership, the buyer is solely responsible for all further actions, including obtaining an EIN, building operational history, establishing credit, qualifying as a foreign entity in other states, and making accurate representations to any third parties (lenders, landlords, customers, government agencies, etc.). This website and our services do not constitute a securities offering, investment advice, or a guarantee of any outcome. Sales are individual, case-by-case administrative transfers of existing legal entities. Buyers must independently verify all information and consult qualified legal, tax, and financial professionals before making a purchase or using the company. See our full Terms of Use for complete details and buyer acknowledgments. Compliance with all applicable laws is the buyer’s responsibility.
