Changing the owner of a household business is the procedure of changing a household business to another individual or new household when the former household business owner wants to transfer the household business to the new owner by different ways, such as selling, giving, inheriting, etc. So what is the procedure to change the old owner to the new owner of the household business? You and Nghiep Thanh Law will figure out through the article below.
1. Conditions for the new household business owner to receive the transfer[1]
When changing the owner of a household business, the new owner of the household business must satisfy the following conditions:
– The owner of a new household business has not yet registered or established any household business across the country;
– The owner of a new individual household business or a member of a new business household is not a sole proprietorship owner;
– The owner of a new household business may not be a general partner of the partnership unless otherwise agreed by the remaining general partners.
Thus, an individual who wants to receive a household busniess transfer to become a new owner must meet the criteria and conditions prescribed by the law above.
