Share Transfer (SH-4)

Moving shares between shareholders? We handle the SH-4 deed, stamp duty, board approval and register update so the transfer is clean and dispute-proof.

Overview

Transferring shares in a private company — to a co-founder, investor or on exit — is done through a SH-4 share transfer deed, with stamp duty paid, board approval, and an update to the register of members and share certificates. Private companies also have transfer restrictions in their articles to respect.

GovYapar prepares the deed, computes stamp duty, records board approval, and updates your registers so ownership changes are clean and defensible.
