SHELL CORPORATIONS

Shell corporations (also known as special purpose vehicles, or special purpose facilities, etc.) have legitimate business purposes as they often serve an important role for start-ups.   These entities are often formed before commencing operations to obtain financing.

In fact, most companies start as these entities, especially shell corporations.  These corporations serve as a vehicle for business transactions.  Logically, every company whether a corporation or limitied liability company is a "shell" when it is first created, as it needs to raise venture capital and does not have significant assets to begin operations.
"Shell Corporations" are simply one of the methods of how economic development and construction projects of this magnitude are structured utilizing multiple businesses and organizational entities for each separate phase of a major development project and subsequent business operations of a facility.
