Partnership Transfer & Sale
Move shares, add a partner or sell the company — documented and approved.
Ownership changes are routine until the paperwork lags behind the handshake. An undocumented transfer leaves the old shareholder on the Commercial Registration, on the bank mandate and on the hook. We handle the full transfer: due diligence, valuation documentation, amended articles of association, notarisation, ministry approval and the CR update that makes it official.
Whether you are bringing in an investor, buying out a partner, restructuring for foreign ownership or passing a family business to the next generation, the sequence is the same and the detail is where it goes wrong.

- Pre-transfer due diligence and liability check
- Share transfer and sale agreement preparation
- Articles of association amendments

What this covers
The routes and categories we handle under partnership transfer & sale.
Partial transfer to a new investor
Keep your position while bringing in a partner for capital or expertise, with the new split recorded in the articles.
Complete sale of the business
Full transfer of the shareholding from existing owners to a buyer, including licence and bank mandate handover.
Transfer between existing shareholders
A partner exits or increases their stake; documentation and the CR are updated to match.
Conversion to a foreign ownership structure
Restructuring the shareholding so the entity sits correctly under Qatar's foreign investment rules.
Family succession
A structured handover between family members that keeps the trading entity and its licences intact.
Corporate restructuring
Share redistribution across a group during reorganisation, with each step documented in order.
How it works
A fixed sequence, with a named contact accountable for each stage.
Consultation and due diligence
We review the CR, articles, licences and outstanding obligations, and confirm what the transfer will require.
Documentation
Transfer agreement, board resolution and amended articles of association are drafted for signature.
Approvals
Ministry approval is obtained, including foreign ownership clearance where the new structure needs it.
Notarisation and CR update
Documents are notarised and the Commercial Registration, trade licence and Computer Card reissued.
Post-transfer handover
Bank signatories, authorised manager details and sponsorship records are updated to the new owners.
