Transfer of shares

In a share transfer, a shareholder sells (part of) their shares in a private limited company (BV) to a buyer for an agreed purchase price. The details of the sale are recorded in a purchase agreement drawn up by the buyer and the seller. Just like in real estate transactions, both parties must go to a notary to finalize the transfer.

‍

The transfer of one or more shares must be executed by means of a notarial deed of share transfer. This deed can be executed by proxy, and unlike a standard consumer home purchase, it is not required to appear in person at the notary’s office. This means the entire share transfer process can be handled online through this service.
