Transfer of Shares Service

SERVICE OVERVIEW
Move ownership without creating new shares—and preserve an auditable register of members.
A share transfer can support a sale, gift, founder reorganisation or family succession. The company’s articles and any shareholder agreement should be checked because they may give the board discretion or other shareholders rights of first refusal.
We prepare the routine stock transfer form, approval record and ownership-update pack. Stamp Duty may apply where chargeable consideration exceeds the relevant threshold, and specialist tax advice can be important for connected-person or below-market transfers.
