Documents & further information
The FORIS shelf AG has already been founded and registered in the commercial register – we bear the full founding risk and hand over to you a risk-free and legally secure company. You can get started straight away.
Each shelf AG is provided with a business bank account at one of our partner banks, which the capital contribution is paid into. When you purchase the shelf AG, you also acquire the capital contribution. We offer two convenient options for accessing the capital contribution, depending on the bank account model.
Can we take even more work off your hands? With our additional services, we take the pressure off you so that you can concentrate on what’s important.
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about the purchase, the advantages and the takeover process of an AG as a shelf company.
Yes. As soon as you are registered as a shareholder of the corporation and you have additionally seen to the legitimisation at the founding bank or opened a new corporate bank account, you are free to increase the capital of the corporation.
If you have reserved an AG then you will receive an email from FORIS with general samples and company specific information.
In addition, you will also find a questionnaire attached with this email which you should complete and send or return by email to FORIS. You will also receive the payment details which you need for transferring the purchase price to FORIS.
Even though the acquisition of a public limited company does not require a transfer of shares needing certification, you will still need a notary appointment at a notary’s office of your choice to complete the acquisition.
Once FORIS has received the purchase price and the questionnaire, we arrange for the company documents to be sent to the notary by overnight courier.
At the notary appointment, the notarial entry of the changes to the company (company trading name, managing director and others) in the commercial register proceeds. Once the new managing director has been entered in the commercial register, s/he can now apply for the capital or the company bank account to be transferred. For this purpose, please contact your commercial bank.
I will be happy to help you with any questions you have about the reservation or the process of purchasing a shelf company.
