Share Transfer
Share Transfer services managed seamlessly by our expert team.
Transferring shares means more than signing a deed: it needs the right documents, stamp duty and company approvals, and your records must be updated. CASYST prepares the paperwork and completes the transfer.
What is Share Transfer?
A share transfer is the movement of shares from one holder to another, by sale, gift or transmission. In a private company the transfer is governed by the company's articles and requires board approval. A share transfer deed is executed and stamped, and the new holder is recorded in the register of members.
Transfers involving non-residents also need to follow the foreign exchange rules and reporting.
