The Basic Share Purchase Pack (Private Company — England & Wales)

Buying or selling shares in a private company is one of the most significant transactions you will undertake. This solicitor-drafted Basic Share Purchase Pack gives you the core set of documents needed to run a straightforward share sale from first approach through to Companies House filing — solicitor grade legal protection without the solicitor price tag.

What This Pack Does

A share sale is not a single document — it is a sequence of documents, each doing a specific job as the deal moves from confidentiality, through due diligence, to signature and completion. This pack gives you every document required to run that sequence for a straightforward share transfer, drawn directly from how these transactions are actually structured by UK solicitors.

This is not a generic online package. Every document reflects live-deal drafting practice, built to work together as a single, coherent transaction file rather than a collection of disconnected templates.

What's Inside

• Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) — Protects confidential information shared between buyer and seller before terms are agreed, covering permitted use, return/destruction of information and remedies for breach

• Due Diligence Questionnaire — A structured questionnaire covering the company's constitution, finances, contracts, employees, assets and litigation, used by the buyer to interrogate the target before committing to terms

• Disclosure Letter — The seller's formal mechanism for qualifying the warranties given in the Share Purchase Agreement, protecting the seller against claims for matters properly disclosed

• Share Purchase Agreement — The core transaction document governing price, completion mechanics, warranties and post-completion protections for both parties

• Board Minutes — Records the target company's board approval of the share transfer and any related completion matters

• New Share Certificate — This acts as formal legal proof that the buyer now officially owns the shares being transferred

• Stock Transfer Form — The statutory form required to legally transfer the shares from seller to buyer

• Stamp Duty Application — Guidance and documentation for submitting the stock transfer form to HMRC and paying any stamp duty due on completion

Who Needs This

• Business owners selling their company in a straightforward transaction, without the cost of instructing a full-service law firm

• Buyers acquiring a private company who need a robust, enforceable legal framework without unnecessary complexity

• First-time sellers and buyers who want the essential documents for a share sale, correctly drafted, without paying for provisions they don't need

• SMEs and owner-managed businesses running the legal side of the transaction directly, alongside their accountant handling the company's administration on completion

Why This Pack Matters

Missing a single document in a share sale can leave a deal unable to complete, or leave a party without protection they assumed they had. This pack gives you the complete core sequence — from the first NDA through to the HMRC stamp duty filing — so nothing is left out and nothing needs to be drafted from scratch.
