chosen: A shell company is an incorporated company that has no significant assets or activities other than owning the shares of another corporation. It is used to protect the identity of the true owners of a business, to launder money, or as an investment vehicle to generate profits with minimal overhead costs. It is also sometimes used for tax avoidance strategies. Shell companies usually exist only on paper and often are not physically located in the same country as the true owners or the true home of the business it owns a controlling interest in.
