Business transfer solutions in Austria

The process of moving control from one manager to another, called a business transfer, involves different approaches. Whether changing ownership, assets, moving the business, or transferring shares, each brings about major changes for those involved in the enterprise.

Our business transfer solutions

Our business transfer services offer thorough plans to assist with different aspects of transferring a business in Austria. Whether it includes changing ownership, assets, moving operations, or handling share capital, we provide customized solutions to address your individual requirements and objectives.

Transfer business ownership

We have a solution for transferring the ownership of a business in Austria, which includes transferring control and decision-making power from one owner or group to another. This usually requires legal agreements and negotiations to guarantee a smooth transfer of ownership rights, duties, and assets. Choices may involve selling the business, passing ownership to family members or employees, or merging with another company.

Transfer business assets

Our approach to transferring business assets in Austria involves moving or distributing both physical and non-physical assets from one organization to another. These assets include tangible items like real estate, machinery, and stock, as well as intangible items like intellectual property, client agreements, and reputation. By carefully documenting, assessing, and following legal protocols, we guarantee the accurate accounting and safeguarding of assets throughout the transfer process.

Move business to new location

We provide a complete package for companies interested in moving to a different site. This includes strategic planning and managing the physical relocation of operations, whether it's local, national, or global. Our method aims to reduce any interruptions in business, maintain customer relationships, and guarantee a seamless transition of resources, staff, and services to the new site.

Transfer share capital

Our method for transferring share capital in Austria simplifies the process of buying, selling, or transferring ownership interests in a company through share exchanges. This can be done through private transactions among current shareholders, public offerings on stock exchanges, or as part of mergers and acquisitions. We guarantee compliance with securities regulations and shareholder agreements, as transferring share capital affects ownership structures and voting rights in the company.

Transfer agreement and documents

In order for one company to transfer all of its assets and liabilities to another, they must enter into a Business Transfer Agreement (BTA). To arrange a meeting at the notary’s office for this purpose, the following documents are necessary:

  • 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

Further documentation may be required depending on the specific situation.

We provide help with gathering all required documents and determining key factors like market value, payment terms, and date of transfer.

Key points of business transfer in Austria

When preparing to transfer control of an organization in Austria, keep the following factors in consideration: 

1

Assess your company’s actual worth

Evaluating the true value of your company requires a thorough analysis of different factors such as financial performance, assets, liabilities, market position, and growth potential. By understanding the market value and potential selling price, you can make well-informed decisions about the future of your business.

2

Evaluate options for passing the organization

Examine different possibilities for transitioning the organization, taking into account options like selling the business outright, transferring ownership to family members or employees, merging with another company, or attracting external investors.

3

Time consumed

Keep in mind that transferring ownership in Austria can last up to 5 years, so make sure to plan ahead and allocate enough time for discussions, legal processes, and the handover.

4

Understand taxes of enterprise handover

Get to know the taxes related to transferring ownership of a business in Austria, such as state fees on documents that transfer ownership of specific goods and the sale of part of a business.

5

Identify possible buyers

Find possible purchasers for your company in Austria, such as individuals, businesses, or investment firms looking to purchase or invest in your business.

6

Evaluate financing options

Investigate different ways to finance the handover process, including the option of putting some of your own money into the deal or looking for financing from new management or investors, particularly if you plan to stay involved with the company post-transaction.
