A business transfer (Swedish: företagsöverlåtelse), also called a business sale, means that a company changes owner. It can take place through a transfer of shares, where the buyer takes over the shares, or an asset deal, where assets and operations are sold out of the company. The structure chosen affects taxation, among other things.
Before a share deal, the buyer often does a due diligence, in which a correct share ledger is an important basis. Terms are set out in a share purchase agreement, and once completed the new owner is entered in the share ledger.
A transfer of shares means shares change owner, for example through a sale, gift or inheritance.
