Ownership Changes, Done Properly
Transferring shares in a UAE company means amending the Memorandum of Association and registering the change with the licensing authority. Mainland transfers are usually notarised; free zones follow their own procedures and forms.
A share transfer touches more than the licence. Visas sponsored by an exiting partner, bank signatories, beneficial owner records and tax registrations all need updating. We document the transfer, handle notarisation and filing, and update every related record.
