What is an Equity Transfer Agreement?
An equity transfer agreement is a contract between two parties, one of whom transfers their ownership rights in a business to the other. The agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the transfer, including how much money will change hands.
An equity transfer agreement can also specify specific parameters such as what happens if one party dies or becomes incapacitated. Equity transfers are often used by family members who want to keep their business within the family. Still, they’re also common for purchases involving multiple partners with differing levels of investment.
