It is straight forward.
You will only need to buy a Shelf Company if you are in a hurry and need the company formation to take place to be able to operate.
If you have time (not more than a week) then it is just to go for a regular Cyprus Company Formation, you don't need to pay the additional costs which a Shelf Company will cost.
Furthermore, do not look further, the forum owners are very professional in the setup of Cyprus Companies and they do it as fast as it is possible, and they won't take your money if you can't get your company formation done.
Furthermore you have the benefit to use this forum for your questions and get them answered fast, which not many other Companies have.
Hope it helps.
