For a private limited company, a share transfer agreement is usually chosen when you want to sell your business in Rotterdam region or elsewhere. Another option is to sell your business via an asset-liability transaction. At all times, it is important to be aware of the financial and tax implications. Selling your business consists of an intensive process that takes a long time to prepare. Therefore, it is important that your business is always sale-ready. All contracts should be well documented and the company structure should be clear. Kooijman Autar from Rotterdam offers you expert and personal guidance on the share transfer and draws up a professional agreement for you.
A tailor-made share transfer agreement in Rotterdam
How extensive the share transfer purchase agreement is depends largely on the guarantee the buyer wants and to what extent the seller is willing to give this guarantee. Has your company from Rotterdam or surroundings already drawn up a share transfer purchase agreement? Then it is not possible to make further demands in the deed of delivery or issue.
Even if there is already a drafted purchase agreement, our team from Rotterdam will carefully check the following matters, among others, during a share transfer:
- Whether pre-emptive rights have been respected;
- Whether the decision-making process went well;
- How the consideration relates to the company's equity and profits;
- Whether the register of shareholders has been updated;
- How the seller acquired the shares.
In addition, we check all the usual issues with respect to seller, buyer and the company.
An asset-liability transaction instead of a share transfer agreement
An asset-liability transaction involves the transfer of all assets including receivables belonging to the company or part to a buyer. Generally, (part of) the debts are also taken over. When drafting an agreement for an asset-liability transaction, it is important to comply with the formalities.
