Shelf company

Helping you in starting your business journey in UAE

Launching a business in Dubai doesn’t have to be a marathon. At AR Associates, we turn it into a sprint with our shelf companies. These pre-established entities are your keys to the city, unlocking business opportunities faster than you might imagine. Not just companies, they are your express pass to trading within this dynamic market.  

What's a Shelf company ?

Ever wondered if there’s a shortcut to establishing a business presence in Dubai? There is, and it’s called a shelf company. Imagine this: while others are mired in paperwork, you could already be signing your first contract. A shelf company is a pre-registered entity that’s been maintained dormant and is waiting for someone like you to bring it to life. This is what we mean by shelf company meaning—a company that’s set up but inactive, ready to go whenever you are.

Why choose a Shelf company in the UAE?

Choosing a shelf company in the UAE can significantly propel your business forward for several compelling reasons:

Speed of setup

A shelf company allows you to bypass many of the bureaucratic hurdles associated with new business setups. These companies are ready to go, enabling you to operate from day one.

Established history

An older shelf company can enhance your business’s credibility, giving your dealings extra weight in the eyes of clients and creditors.

Immediate market entry

Shelf Company Formation allows for immediate operational capabilities. Whether it’s contracting, bidding, or conducting transactions, you’re good to go right away.

Regulatory compliance

Shelf companies come with all legal requirements sorted, ensuring compliance is seamless from the moment you take over.
