Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main types of business transfers?
There are several categories, including:
Unplanned transfers due to death, incapacity, or insolvency.
Planned full transfers (e.g. retirement, family succession).
Partial or voluntary transfers (donation or intra-family sale).
Paid transfers (sale to employees, third parties, or other companies).
Does the transfer process differ by company type?
Yes. Each company form has its own requirements:
Sole proprietorship: Transfer by sale or inheritance.
OE/EE partnerships: Partner agreement and court registration.
EPE (LLC): Requires legal contract and Gazette publication.
SA (AE): Transfer of shares and shareholder register update.
Are there tax exemptions?
Yes. Transfers between close relatives often have reduced tax rates (1.2–2.4%), and retirement-related transfers may be exempt from capital gains tax.
What happens to employees during a transfer?
Under Greek and EU law, all employment contracts transfer automatically to the new owner. The new employer becomes jointly liable for any pre-transfer obligations.
When is a business transfer considered legally valid?
When the economic identity of the business remains intact — assets, clients, staff, and core activities continue under a new owner without interruption.
