Share Transfer Form Checklist

Complete your free Share Transfer Form with our checklist

Different companies may have different procedures for effecting a transfer of shares, however for Pty Ltd companies we recommend taking the following post-execution steps. This process is generally managed by the company secretary, with the involvement of the transferor, transferee and the directors.

Post-execution steps

  1. Execute a Directors' Resolution Approving Transfer of Shares (Circulating Resolution).
  2. Execute a new Share Certificate, and provide it to the transferee.
  3. Update the Transfer Journal (optional)
  4. Update the Register of Members (required).
  5. Lodge an electronic Form 484 with ASIC, within 28 days of executing the directors' resolution approving transfer of shares.
