What is a Stock Transfer Form?

A Stock Transfer Form (STF) is the standard legal document used to transfer ownership of shares in a UK-based private limited company from one person (or company) to another. Stock Transfer Forms are an integral part of the transfer process. They deal with ownership, stamp duty, and consideration.

When should I use a Stock Transfer Form?

Use this Stock Transfer Form template:

• when you want to transfer ordinary shares in a private limited company
• to transfer shares that are owned by a sole owner, joint owners or a limited company
• for share transfers of fully paid shares (ie not nil paid or partly paid shares, for which the current owner has not yet paid the company the full value of their shares)
• if you’re not transferring shares that are held in electronic form (ie using the CREST system)
• if you are based in England, Wales or Scotland
