A shelf corporation (also called an “aged corporation”) is a business entity that was created in the past but has never conducted any operations. It has been “sitting on the shelf” — legally formed, maintained in good standing, and aging over time — but without activity or debt. Lenders and investors often view older businesses as more credible, stable, and fundable compared to brand-new startups.

By purchasing a shelf corporation, you instantly acquire a company with established history, making it easier to qualify for business funding, lines of credit, government contracts, and vendor accounts. At Luxu Solutions, we use shelf corporations to help entrepreneurs, startups, and expanding businesses fast-track the credibility and profile that lenders require — without waiting years to build it organically. This strategy can open the door to $100K–$5M in capital when paired with a strong business credit profile, revenue history, and collateral options.

A shelf corporation is ideal for entrepreneurs and business owners who are ready to secure significant funding but don’t yet meet the strict requirements of traditional lending. This includes startups needing instant credibility, growing businesses that want to separate funding from personal credit, and established entrepreneurs launching new ventures.

Shelf corporations work best when you’re at the stage of business planning where your concept, goals, and revenue model are already defined — but you need aged business history to open doors with lenders, vendors, and partners. At Luxu Solutions, we recommend them for clients who have a clear plan to scale and can quickly leverage the enhanced credibility, faster funding approvals, and access to larger credit lines that come with a seasoned business entity.

When you purchase a shelf corporation from Luxu Solutions for $2,500, we handle the entire transition so you can start building business credit immediately. First, we obtain the corporation’s EIN (Employer Identification Number) and officially transfer ownership into your name. We then provide you with a virtual business address and set up mail forwarding so you can begin receiving credit offers and official correspondence in your company’s name. From there, we guide you through our Funding Readiness Checklist, which may include securing collateral if required by lenders. We offer collateral options of $100,000 for $5,000 or $1,000,000 for $10,000 — and these collateral payments can be made by credit card if needed. Once you meet the checklist requirements, we submit your funding applications, and after you receive funding, our partner company Blue Revenue collects a 10% success fee of the funded amount. Even after the funding process is complete, our support doesn’t stop — we provide free credit repair services and assist you in applying for any business grants that become available. Payment for your shelf corporation can be made by money order, check, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, or ACH transfer, making the process fast and convenient.

At Luxu Solutions, we work with over 2,000 funding sources, giving our clients access to a wide range of potential financing options. While we can’t guarantee any specific amount, term, or rate upfront, we always start by exploring SBA programs for the most competitive interest rates. Our funding team will then work directly with you to help secure terms that best fit your needs. Examples of what clients have received in the past include: 0%–5% interest revolving lines of credit for up to one year, SBA loans in the 7%–9% range with up to 10 years to repay, mortgage financing around 8%–12% with up to 30 years to repay, and auto loans from 4%–6% with up to 7 years to repay. In some cases, we’ve also been able to help clients access grant opportunities — funds that never need to be repaid. These figures are examples only; your actual funding will depend on your qualifications and lender approval. Our goal is to connect you with the best available options and guide you every step of the way.
