A Share Transfer Agreement is a legal document that governs the transfer of shares from one person or entity to another. This agreement is particularly important in private companies where shares are not traded publicly and the transfer of shares is not as simple as in public companies. It includes the identities of the seller and the buyer, the number and type of shares being transferred, and the price agreed upon for these shares. Importantly, it also details the terms of payment, which could range from a straightforward one-time payment to more complex, structured arrangements.
