How does a share transfer work in Luxembourg, and at what price?

A transfer of SARL or SARL-S shares is priced on quotation, confirmed in writing before any deed at Financial Services Luxembourg: transfer deed, shareholder approval, notification to the company, RCS filing and update of the Register of Beneficial Owners. The price depends on a single variable, the content of the deed; register disbursements remain extra, at cost.

How does the procedure unfold?

Shareholder decision or approval, under the 1915 Act and your articles.
Written deed recording the operation and its terms.
Publication and filings with the RCS within the legal deadlines.
RBE update, so the registers match reality.

What does it cost, exactly?

Transferring to a third party is not free: the 1915 Companies Act and your articles subject a new shareholder's entry to the approval of existing shareholders, and missing the 30-day RBE update exposes you to sanctions. Our work sequences the four acts in order, approval, deed, RCS, RBE, so the registers tell the same story as the contract. Complex structures, earn-outs, representations and warranties, split ownership, are referred to a partner lawyer: drafting complex deeds is reserved legal counsel.

What are the accounting and tax consequences?

The transfer moves ownership, not the books: the company continues, but any change of manager, updated bank mandates and the seller's capital-gain position are handled in the same movement. All unit procedures, RCS and RBE extracts included, are published on the 2026 fee grid.
