Shelf Company for Sale

A shelf company (also called a ready-made company or aged company) in Singapore is a pre-incorporated private limited (Pte. Ltd.) company that has never traded, has no debts or liabilities, and is ready for immediate purchase and operation. It has a valid UEN, an ACRA-registered status, and a clean corporate history from the moment of its incorporation.

Buying a shelf company allows you to start business operations immediately — often on the same day. Older shelf companies also convey a longer track record of corporate existence, which banks, clients, and partners view more favourably. It’s ideal when you need to quickly respond to a business opportunity, contract, or banking requirement that requires an established company.

3E Accounting’s shelf companies are priced from SGD 2,600 (plus 9% GST = SGD 2,834) for companies incorporated in 2025, SGD 3,600 (GST inclusive: SGD 3,924) for 2024-incorporated entities, and SGD 4,600 (GST inclusive: SGD 5,014) for 2023-incorporated entities. The price reflects the company’s age and corporate longevity.

Yes. Foreign individuals and companies can hold 100% of shares in a Singapore shelf company. However, Singapore law requires at least one locally resident director. 3E Accounting provides a nominee resident director service to fulfill this requirement, allowing fully foreign-owned companies to comply with the Companies Act.

You can operate the company within 1–2 business days of completing the share transfer and director appointment. The corporate bank account can also be opened immediately. The entire purchase and transfer process — handled by 3E Accounting’s AI-powered team — is typically completed within one business day of receiving all required documents and payment.
