A dummy corporation or dummy company is a entity created to serve as a front or cover for one or more legitimate companies. It can have the appearance of being real (logo, website, public relations) but lacks the capacity to function independently. The goal of dummy corporation can be to conceal true ownership and/or purpose for tax or other purposes. A dummy corporation is one way to cook the books in a dishonest attempt to hide the true financial status of a company.
