Share Transfer Documentation
A share transfer changes the ownership structure of a company. It may require a share transfer agreement, shareholder resolution, MOA amendment, updated license records and authority approval.
We help prepare the required documents in the correct sequence so the transfer can be signed, notarized and submitted to the relevant authority.
Share transfer requirements differ between mainland, free zone and foreign-owned structures. We review the company documents before drafting.
