Share sale
Cleanest execution; the buyer takes the corporate history and will price for it.
M&A
Business sale in Spain: structures
The structure is not a technicality. It determines what transfers, what stays, what formalities apply and how the price is protected.
Who this is for
- Sellers weighing structures
- Buyers proposing an asset deal
- Shareholders in a partial exit
Asset sale
Isolates chosen assets but triggers transfer formalities and possible employee transfer obligations.
Partial exits
Reinvestment, minority stakes and earn-outs require shareholder documentation from day one.

Frequently asked questions
- Do employees transfer in an asset sale?
