UbuyHoldings Inc
UbuyHoldings, Inc. (OTC: UBUY), formerly known as E-Pawn.Com, Inc., is a Nevada corporation that was originally incorporated in 1985 under the name Java, Inc. and subsequently launched a wholly owned subsidiary, E-Pawn, Inc., in 1999 to operate an internet auction website and build electronic commerce businesses under its UBUYNETWORK.COM umbrella. The company's early business model was designed around the emerging e-commerce market of the late 1990s, focusing on customizable e-commerce software incorporating tax and shipping modules, discounting, email notification, banner advertising, search tools, online transaction verification, and project management software systems. As an early internet commerce venture, UbuyHoldings participated in the pioneering generation of online auction and e-commerce platforms that predated the dominance of large marketplace operators and sought to provide branded, customizable transactional platforms to online buyers and sellers.<br><br>The company currently has no operations and relies on the completion of a merger with or acquisition of an operating business to resume commercial activities and revenue generation. On July 26, 2023, Custodian Ventures LLC, managed by David Lazar, was appointed custodian of the company as a result of a custodianship proceeding in Clark County, Nevada — a mechanism available under Nevada corporate law that allows interested parties to petition courts to appoint a custodian for dormant or abandoned corporations in order to restore them to active status and position them for a business combination with a new operating enterprise. This custodianship appointment reflects UbuyHoldings' trajectory from an active early internet commerce company through a period of dormancy to its current status as a shell corporation under custodian management and seeking acquisition or merger opportunities.<br><br>UbuyHoldings, Inc. files periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and trades on the OTC market under the ticker symbol UBUY, having filed a Form 10-12G registration statement with the Commission in 2026 to update its SEC registration status. As a shell company under custodian management, UbuyHoldings represents the category of OTC-registered entities that maintain their public company infrastructure and SEC reporting status while awaiting completion of a reverse merger, acquisition, or other business combination transaction that would bring new operating activities, management, and revenue generation capabilities into the registered corporate entity.
