Business transfer solutions in Russia
The process of transferring control from one management entity to another, referred to as a business transfer, involves different approaches. Whether it is changing ownership, assets, moving the business, or transferring share capital, each brings about major changes for those involved with the enterprise.
Our business transfer solutions
Our business transfer services offer a range of strategies to assist with different aspects of transitioning a business in Russia. We provide tailored solutions to address transferring ownership, assets, relocating operations, and managing share capital according to your specific needs and objectives.
Transfer business ownership
We have a solution available for transferring business ownership in Russia, which includes transferring control and decision-making authority from one owner or group to another. This usually involves legal agreements and negotiations to guarantee a smooth transition of ownership rights, responsibilities, and assets. Possibilities could involve selling the business outright, transferring ownership to family members or employees, or merging with another company.
Transfer business assets
Our strategy for moving business assets within Russia involves moving or reallocating both physical and non-physical assets from one organization to another. These assets include real estate, machinery, goods, patents, customer agreements, and reputation. By carefully documenting, valuing, and following legal protocols, we guarantee the correct recording and safeguarding of assets throughout the transfer process.
Move business to new location
We provide a complete solution for companies interested in moving to a different place. This includes meticulously organizing and managing the actual moving of operations, whether it's within the same city, across the country, or overseas. Our strategy aims to reduce disruptions to business activities, keep customers, and guarantee a seamless transition of assets, employees, and services to the new site.
Transfer share capital
The method we have developed for transferring share capital in Russia makes it easier to buy, sell, or transfer ownership stakes in a company by exchanging shares. This can be done through private agreements among current shareholders, public offers on stock exchanges, or as part of mergers and acquisitions. We guarantee compliance with securities laws and shareholder agreements as the transfer of share capital affects the ownership makeup and voting powers within the company.
Transfer agreement and documents
A Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) is a contract that allows one company to move all of its assets and liabilities to another. In order to organize this process and set up an appointment at the notary’s office, the following paperwork is needed:
- 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 might be required.
We provide help with compiling all required documents and determining vital elements such as the price of the market, method of payment, and date of transfer.
Key points of business transfer in Russia
When organizing a handover in Russia, keep in mind the following considerations:
1
Assess your company’s actual worth
Evaluating the true value of your business requires a thorough assessment of different aspects, such as financial performance, assets, liabilities, market position, and potential for growth. Analyzing the market value and possible selling price will help you make well-informed choices about the future of your company.
2
Evaluate options for passing the organization
Consider different possibilities for transitioning the organization, including selling the business, passing ownership to family or employees, merging with another company, or attracting outside investors.
3
Time consumed
Keep in mind that the transfer of ownership can last as long as 5 years in Russia, so make sure to plan ahead and leave plenty of time for discussions, legal processes, and the transition.
4
Understand taxes of enterprise handover
Get to know the taxes related to transferring ownership of a business in Russia, which include fees for documents that transfer ownership of specific goods and for selling part of a business.
5
Identify possible buyers
Find possible purchasers for your business in Russia, such as individuals, businesses, or investment companies looking to buy or invest in your company.
6
Evaluate financing options
Examine different ways to fund the handover process, such as financing part of the deal independently or looking for funding from incoming management or investors, particularly if you have further involvement with the company post-transaction.
