An acquisition means someone buys shares in, or all of, a limited company. It can happen through a transfer of shares or by a parent company buying up another company and forming a corporate group.
Ahead of an acquisition, a due diligence is usually carried out in which the buyer reviews the company's share ledger and cap table. A correct ownership history makes the deal safer and faster.
A transfer of shares means shares change owner, for example through a sale, gift or inheritance.
