Share Transfer in a Company
Transferring shares — whether bringing in a new shareholder, buying out an old one, or moving shares within a family or group — must follow a defined process, or the transfer can be invalid and cause problems later in diligence.
It involves a stamped transfer deed (Form SH-4), board approval, and updating the register of members and issuing/endorsing share certificates. Valuation may also matter for tax.
Key features and requirements
- Execution of a share transfer deed (Form SH-4)
- Payment of stamp duty on the transfer
- Board approval of the transfer
- Updating the register of members
- Endorsement/issue of share certificates
- Valuation considerations for tax where relevant
