Change of Shareholder in a Slovak s.r.o.

How the transfer of a business share works and what to consider

The change of a shareholder in a Slovak s.r.o. is a common business situation: companies are sold, shares are transferred, new partners enter the business or restructuring takes place. Every transfer must be completed correctly to avoid future legal or financial risks. We provide full legal support for share transfer procedures, ensuring compliance and safety.

When a shareholder change is required

• Sale of a full or partial business share to another person or company.
• Exit of a shareholder from the business.
• Transfer of a share by inheritance or donation.
• Entry of a new investor.
• Corporate restructuring.

How the transfer of a share works

1. Document preparation

Drafting the share transfer agreement, obtaining required consents, preparing amendments to the articles of association.

2. Notarial certification

The agreement must be signed before a Slovak notary.

3. Filing with the Commercial Register

The changes are submitted to the Obchodný register for official registration.

4. Receiving the updated extract

The company receives an extract showing the new shareholder structure.

5. Notifications

Authorities, banks and partners may need to be notified.
