What is a Transfer of Shares?
A transfer of shares is the legal process of moving ownership from one shareholder (the transferor) to another person or entity (the transferee).
There are many reasons you might transfer shares, including:
Selling shares – when a shareholder sells all or part of their ownership.
Family or estate planning – gifting or transferring shares to relatives or beneficiaries.
Bringing in new partners or directors – allowing others to become part of your business.
Restructuring or investment planning – adjusting ownership to reflect new financial arrangements.
Whatever the reason, we’ll ensure the process is smooth, secure, and fully compliant with your company’s Articles of Association and Companies House requirements.
How Our Transfer of Shares Service Works
We manage each stage of the process carefully — ensuring full legal compliance and professional documentation throughout.
-
We review your company’s Articles of Association to confirm the transfer is permitted and identify any pre-emption rights or shareholder approvals required.
-
We prepare all the legal paperwork you’ll need, including:
Stock Transfer Form (Form J30) – the official document transferring ownership.
Board Meeting Minutes – recording directors’ approval of the transfer.
Updated Share Register – showing the revised ownership structure.
-
Once approved, we prepare and issue new share certificates for the transferee and cancel the originals held by the transferor.
-
We’ll ensure your confirmation statement is updated to reflect your new shareholding structure, keeping your public record accurate and compliant.
