Legal requirements

Transfer Agreement

The transfer agreement is a legally binding contract between the seller and the buyer of shares in a Swiss GmbH. It records the terms of the share transfer. The contract must be signed by hand and must contain the following provisions in particular:

Company name, names of the participating parties, details regarding the equity shares (in particular number and nominal value), consideration or purchase price and payment terms, note in the sense of Art. 785 para. 2 OR and date.

Resolution of the shareholders' meeting

The transfer of shares requires the approval of the shareholders' meeting according to Art. 786 para. 1 of the Code of Obligations. This approval can be obtained by a written resolution of the shareholders. In it, the shareholders must approve the transfer of the shares as well as any changes potentially associated with the management or signing authority.

Commercial register registration

The registration in the commercial register is a formal application to the competent commercial registry office to record changes in ownership and related changes in the management of the Swiss GmbH. The application must be drafted in the official language – usually German or French.
