Why buy a shelf company in Panama?
A long-established Latin American corporate and logistics centre built around the Canal and the Colón Free Zone.
Our Panama ready made companies were incorporated in advance and kept dormant. They have never traded, carry no debts or contracts, and have been kept in good standing, so ownership can pass to you as soon as due diligence is complete.
At transfer you can change the company name, appoint your own directors, move the registered office and adopt the business activity you need.
Well suited to
- Latin American trading
- Asset holding
- Shipping and logistics
Good to know: A Panamanian company must keep a local resident agent, who is a lawyer or law firm. We explain the practical steps and costs before you commit.

Panama shelf companies: common questions
How quickly can I own a Panama shelf company?
Once due diligence is complete, the transfer itself usually takes days. The exact timing depends on registry, notary or agent steps in Panama. A Panamanian company must keep a local resident agent, who is a lawyer or law firm.
Are your Panama companies really clean?
Yes. Each company has been dormant since incorporation. You receive written confirmation that it has never traded and has no debts or liabilities, and you can check it on the official register.
Can a non-resident buy a company in Panama?
In most cases yes. Where Panama requires a local director, secretary, agent or address, we can arrange it and include it in your quotation.
Can I rename the company?
Yes. A change of name is normally filed together with the transfer, along with new directors, shareholders and registered office.
Will the Panama company have a bank account?
Not as standard. Banks open accounts for the new owners after their own checks. We advise on realistic banking options for your activity and can support the application.
How much does a Panama ready made company cost?
Price on request. It depends on the age of the company and the services you add. You receive a fixed written quotation before any payment.
What about tax?
Tax depends on where the company is managed and what it does, not only on registration in Panama. We give general guidance only. Please take advice from a qualified tax adviser.
