Aged Shelf Corporations are exactly as they sound.... companies that were formed and then placed "on the shelf" to acquire age and become more valuable to acquire financing with due to the age. Many companies use these aged corporations to report good credit history to the credit repositories, making them very advantageous for an individual or corporation who buys them later to be used to finance a completely different project or investment. These aged shelf corporations are also used to achieve contracts that may require a company to be a certain age. They are also commonly used to be taken public. It is fairly simple to file the necessary SEC paperwork on a company that is not actively doing any business and is also much quicker. Once this process is complete, the right to do a reverse merger with the public shell will be sold to a private company. This benefits a private company that does not wish to go through the scrutiny of an SEC filing as well as companies that don't expect to raise much capital during the IPO process, they are looking to become public more for the credibility and ability to raise money later.
