What is a Share Transfer?

A share transfer occurs when one shareholder transfers part or all of their company shares to another individual or entity.

This operation changes the ownership structure of the company while maintaining the same legal entity.

Share transfers are common in SARL companies, where ownership is divided into shares among partners.

Reasons for Transferring Company Shares

Companies may transfer shares for several reasons:

  • Entry of a new investor or partner

  • Exit of an existing shareholder

  • Internal restructuring of ownership

  • Sale of company shares

  • Business succession planning

A share transfer ensures the company ownership is legally updated.
