chosen: A shell company is a business entity that is already formed and legally registered but may not have any significant business operations. A shell company can be purchased, managed, and then restructured and renamed by the buyer for other business opportunities. Shell companies are often used as a vehicle for financial transactions and investments, as they provide a legitimate corporate identity and can help to conceal the true ownership or management of assets. Additionally, shell companies can be used as platforms to initiate public offerings and other corporate finance activities.
