  1. The legal name of the corporation
  2. Number of shares of the common stock and price of shares
  3. Full name of the Treasurer of the corporation authorized to accept stock subscription, number of stocks for purchase, and subscription price

  5. The state where the business is formed

Frequently asked questions

A letter of intent to sell shares is a simple, written document. It should clearly define the company and whom is selling and buying the shares. State the contact information for all the parties as well as the company's physical address and registered agent. It should be clear which shares are to be sold in the transaction. Enclose any additional legal terms for the deal as well.

Generally, there is a target date agreed on by the buyer for the sale of the shares. Write the letter of intent prior to this target closing date. If the buyer does not complete the legal agreement by this target date, there may be opportunities to renegotiate as agreed on by the buyer and the seller.
