Business transfer solutions in Hong Kong
A business transfer, which involves transitioning control from one management entity to another, can involve different methods such as transferring ownership, assets, relocating the business, or transferring share capital. Each method brings about significant changes for those involved with the enterprise.

Transfer business ownership
We have a solution for transitioning business ownership in Hong Kong, which includes transferring control and decision-making authority from one owner or group to another. Legal agreements and negotiations are usually involved to facilitate a smooth transfer of ownership rights, responsibilities, and assets. Options may involve selling the business, transferring ownership to family members or employees, or merging with another company.
Transfer business assets

This includes real estate, machinery, stocks, patents, client agreements, and reputation. By carefully documenting, assessing, and following legal protocols, we guarantee the accurate accounting and safeguarding of assets throughout the transfer.
Move business to new location
Our company provides a full-service solution for companies seeking to move their operations to a different site. This includes meticulous planning and coordination of the relocation process, be it locally, nationally, or internationally. Our method focuses on reducing disruptions to business activities, maintaining customer loyalty, and guaranteeing a seamless transfer of assets, personnel, and services to the new site.
Transfer share capital
The method we provide for transferring share capital in Hong Kong makes it easier to buy, sell, or transfer ownership interests in a company by exchanging shares. This can be done through private transactions between current shareholders, public offerings on stock markets, or as part of mergers and acquisitions. We guarantee compliance with securities laws and shareholder agreements to ensure that the transfer of share capital affects ownership structures and voting rights in the company.
Transfer agreement and documents
In order for one company to transfer all of its assets and liabilities to another, a Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) is needed. To organize this transfer and set up a meeting at the notary’s office, the following documents must be provided:
- Passport
- Utility bills of the company such as an electric bill or phone bill
- A document providing all of terms and conditions for business transfer
Depending on the specific situation, more documentation may be required.
We provide help with gathering all required documentation and determining key factors like market value, payment method, and transfer date.
