Pros and cons

Pros

  • The state fee sits inside the package, where Active Filings, Bizee (formerly Incfile) and Countingup each leave it outside the headline figure.
  • Handover runs 3 to 7, because the company is already registered and the work is a change of ownership rather than an incorporation.
  • Registered agent cover comes with the engagement, given registered-agent engagement via partners, so the legal address requirement is handled without a separate order.

Cons

  • Support runs on email and phone only, so a buyer chasing a live answer depends on a reply rather than a live conversation.
  • The registered agent is engaged through partners, per registered-agent engagement via partners, so the address sits with an outside firm rather than the seller.
  • Package prices vary across the site, with a median of €78.05 and an upper quartile of €279.12, so the headline figure is a weak guide.

Who it suits

  • Founders in Poland, CY and CZ who would rather take over a company that already exists than wait on a fresh registration to complete.
  • Buyers who want the state fee inside the package price rather than a separate line added to the order at the point of purchase.
  • Small businesses weighing Shelfcompanies24 against a site median package price of €78.05 and a lower quartile of €4.34 before buying.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Buyers who want the state fee itemised on its own, the way Bizee (formerly Incfile) presents it, rather than folded into a single package figure.
  • Anyone who needs a company outside PL, CY and CZ, since the shelf list is built on those markets and buyers elsewhere start from a different service.

What it does well

Shelfcompanies24 sells companies that already exist rather than registering new ones. The shelf list spans PL, CY and CZ, so a buyer can pick the market that fits the business. A purchase takes 3 to 7 from order to handover, which keeps delivery short next to waiting for a fresh registration, and the deal includes registered-agent engagement via partners for the address requirement.

Who runs it

Shelfcompanies24 has been trading since 1995, well before ready-made companies were sold on dedicated sites. Buyers deal with the team on email and phone, and a call or an email is the route for questions about a specific listing. Terms for a company follow that market's own rules, so ask before ordering.

How Shelfcompanies24 compares

Frequently asked questions

What does a package cost?+

Package prices are set per company, so the figure depends on the market and the listing. Across the site the median package price is €78.05, with the lower quartile at €4.34 and the upper quartile at €279.12. Ask for the price of a named listing before you order.

Is the state fee included in the price?+

Yes, the state fee is part of the package, so the median package price of €78.05 already carries it. Active Filings, Bizee (formerly Incfile) and Countingup each keep that charge outside the headline figure, which leaves their number short of what a buyer finally pays.

How long does a purchase take?+

A completed purchase runs 3 to 7 from order to handover, because the company is already registered and the work is a transfer rather than a fresh incorporation. Rules differ by market, so confirm the date for a specific listing when the deadline is tight.

Which countries can I buy a company in?+

Shelfcompanies24 lists ready-made companies in Poland, CY and CZ. That is a Europe only list, so a buyer who needs a company in another market will not find one here. Ownership and share transfer rules also differ by market, which affects how a handover is handled.

Is a registered agent included?+

Registered agent cover is part of the engagement: registered-agent engagement via partners. The agent therefore sits with an outside partner rather than with the site, so ask which firm holds the address and what that service costs at renewal before committing to a listing.

How do I get help with a purchase?+

Support runs on email and phone, so a live chat is not part of the service. A phone call or an email is the route for questions, and both suit a buyer who wants detail before an order while the listing is still open. Send the price, the transfer steps and the agent renewal together.
