Navigate Share Transfer Assistance with Confidence

A proper share transfer typically requires a completed stock transfer form, board resolution approving the transfer, updated share certificates, amendments to the register of members, and potentially Companies House notifications for significant changes. Our team ensures all documentation is prepared correctly and filed.

Shares can be valued using several methods, including net asset value, earnings multiples, dividend yield models, or discounted cash flow. 

For private companies without market prices, we help determine fair valuation based on industry standards, financial performance, and specific circumstances of the business.

Share transfers may trigger capital gains tax for the seller, potentially stamp duty for the buyer, and have implications for corporation tax planning. 

The specific tax consequences depend on transaction size, the relationship between parties, and business structure. We provide clear guidance on tax liabilities before proceeding.

The timeframe varies based on complexity, but straightforward transfers can be completed within 2-4 weeks. 

Factors that may extend this timeline include valuation disputes, complex shareholder agreements, mortgage lender approvals, or regulatory considerations. Our efficient process minimises unnecessary delays.

While technically possible, reversing share transfers creates significant complications, including additional tax consequences, compliance issues, and potential disputes. We recommend thorough planning before proceeding to avoid the need for reversal. 

If circumstances demand it, we can guide you through the most efficient path to restructuring ownership.
