Do I acquire a Illinois shelf company or a shelf company from another state?
Please consider these issues:
FEES
When acquiring any shelf company, you are paying the fees that the previous owner paid, maintenance fees plus a premium. This means that a quality shelf company from Illinois is extraordinarily high because of the incorporation and maintenance costs.
On the contrary, a company from Montana, Wyoming or New Mexico cost less to form and maintain. Therefore, the cost of the shelf company is less.
BUSINESS LICENSES & REPORTS
Further, Illinois requests that the owners are disclosed on annual reports and licenses. Lacking these IL licenses are a problem when applying for corporate credit. And since these licenses (if they would exist), don't have your name on them, a change of ownership is evident.
The states of Montana, Wyoming and Mexico don't ask for information on the owners of the companies. Therefore, any change of ownership is not reported. Remember that a change of ownership may be reset the date of the shelf corporation or shelf LLC.
ANSWER: BUY A SHELF CORPORATION FOREIGN TO THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
- The company costs less to acquire.
- A change of ownership is not reflected when the shelf company is acquired.
- Maintenance costs are lower in Wyoming and New Mexico. Maintenance costs with the Illinois Secretary of State are too high. This means you pay less with a shelf company from Montana, Wyoming or New Mexico.
- When the WY or NM company files, as a foreign corporation or foreign LLC in Illinois, it appears that the company is expanding into that state.
