FTC Disclosures
To ensure full transparency and compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, Incorp Ease provides the following clear disclosures about our services. We want our customers to be well-informed and have accurate expectations:
- No Guarantee of Financial Results: We do not guarantee any specific financial outcome or credit result from using our services. For example, buying an aged corporation from us will not automatically grant you loans, lines of credit, government contracts, or any form of financing. While some clients seek aged entities to potentially enhance credibility, any success in obtaining credit or contracts depends on numerous factors outside our control – including your personal creditworthiness, your business plan, lender requirements, economic conditions, etc. We make no promise that you will achieve funding or any monetary benefits.
- Not a Credit Repair or Funding Program: Incorp Ease is not offering credit repair, credit boosting, or funding programs. We sell established companies and provide compliance services – administrative support only. We do not engage in removing negatives from credit reports, adding tradelines, or brokering loans. Be wary of any third party that claims shelf companies are a guaranteed way to get credit; that is not our claim.
- Business Use Only: Our products are intended for active business use, not for any deceptive purposes. Purchasing a shelf corporation should be for purposes like speeding up time-to-market, ease of business registration, or corporate continuity. Using a shelf company to misrepresent your business’s age or history to deceive banks, investors, or the public could be considered fraudulent. We do not condone any misuse of the entities we sell. It’s your responsibility to use the company ethically and legally.
- Compliance and Legal Responsibilities: When you acquire a company from Incorp Ease, you assume all responsibilities of that company. That includes complying with laws (local, state, federal) related to that business’s operations. Incorp Ease’s role is limited to transferring the company and maybe guiding initial compliance steps. We are not managing the business for you. You should ensure you obtain any necessary licenses, adhere to regulations in your industry, and maintain the company properly. If unsure, consult legal counsel.
- Not Legal or Financial Advisors: As stated elsewhere, Incorp Ease is not a law firm, accounting firm, or financial advisor. Any information we provide about, say, how to maintain a company or common practices is general and not a substitute for professional advice. You should consult appropriate professionals for guidance on how using a shelf company fits into your broader business and tax strategy.
- Individual Results Vary: Any testimonials or success stories on our site (if provided) are not a guarantee that another customer will have the same experience. Results can vary widely. Some customers might easily integrate an aged company and quickly start operations; others might find challenges. External variables (like your own experience in business, the industry you’re in, or even random chance) play major roles. We share positive outcomes as examples, but they are not a promise of what will happen for you.
- Transparency of Entity History: We will provide you truthful information about the history of any entity we sell. Typically, our aged entities have no prior operations (no revenues, no debts). If any entity had a quirk in its past (like a brief period of inactivity that was cured), we will tell you. We encourage you to do your own due diligence too. For instance, you can search the company name on state records or even google it to see that it’s clean. We have nothing to hide and support informed purchasing.
- Ongoing Costs of Business: Remember that owning a company has ongoing obligations and costs: state annual fees, possibly registered agent fees, maybe taxes (even if just minimum franchise taxes in some states), etc. When you buy a company from us, those future costs become yours. We might assist for the current year (as specified in your purchase, like “includes current year’s filing”), but beyond that, budget for the future. We disclose known fees (like “Wyoming has $50 annual report” or “Nevada has business license fees”) so you can anticipate them. No one likes surprise costs.
- Results in Marketing Language: Any mention of benefits like “instant credibility” or “time-saving” in our marketing is meant in a general sense. “Instant” means you skip the wait of forming from scratch; it doesn’t mean you instantly have profits or reputation without doing your own work. Always interpret marketing claims in context: we’re selling a starting point, not a guaranteed success.
- Affiliates and Referral Partners: If you were referred to us by an affiliate or partner, note that they may receive compensation for the referral. However, that does not increase your cost. We set our prices standardly. We ensure that any partners accurately represent our services (to the best of our ability), but if you hear something from a third-party that sounds too good to be true or contradicts our site, please double-check with us or refer to this disclosure.
- No Unethical Behavior: We reserve the right to refuse service if we suspect a customer intends to use a company for illegal or highly unethical ventures. While we typically don’t know what you’ll do with the company, any overt statements like “I want this company to perpetrate a scam” will be met with a refusal and refund. Our business is built on providing legitimate services for legitimate businesspeople.
- Use of AI or Automated Communication: On a side note (less about shelf corps, more about our service): We may use AI tools or automated systems to communicate (like chatbots or automated emails). We strive for accuracy, but as our Privacy Policy notes, AI-generated content could have inadvertent errors. Always feel free to reach a human representative for clarification. We stand by the correctness of official documents, but casual communications should be verified if critical.
- Contact Consent: By interacting with us, you’ve likely seen and agreed to our consent to contact disclosure (present on forms, etc.). This means you’re okay with us contacting you as described. We remind you here so it’s all consistent. You can opt out, as detailed in the privacy policy, if you change your mind.
- Due Diligence Encouraged: The FTC encourages consumers (and by extension, business customers) to do their homework. We echo that. Do your due diligence when buying a shelf corporation:
- Read this entire agreement and our policies.
- Ask us questions if you’re unsure of something.
- Maybe consult an attorney or mentor if this is your first time doing this.
- If a claim or term is unclear, get clarity. It’s better to understand upfront than be surprised later.
- Feedback and Reviews: We welcome honest feedback. If you have a positive experience, testimonials help our business. If you have a negative experience, we hope you bring it to us to resolve, but you are free to share your honest opinion. We do not have any “gag” clauses – in fact, our Terms specifically rescind any such language historically. Just, if you share feedback, do so honestly and factually. (False claims can be subject to libel laws, but we’re not looking to go there; this is just a general note.)
These FTC disclosures are provided to ensure you, as our customer, have full visibility into what we do and don’t do. Our aim is to foster trust through honesty. If something is still unclear, please let us know – we will happily explain or put it in writing.
(By proceeding with our services or purchasing, you acknowledge you have read and understood these disclosures. Last updated January 1, 2025.)
