  • You can sell them to another shareholder or to the company itself. There might be transfer restrictions, which are probably written on the certificates, so have a look there before you do anything. Good luck.
  • Adding more to the prior answer... There are going to be many transaction restrictions on your shares and they can be explained to you by the controller or CFO of the company. However, beyond that, you can also sell your shares (if permitted and if you own a big enough position) to any investment bank with a Private equity department... you can seek independant advice from another investment bank who will give you an estimate of fair value for your shares (based on comparables and the company's value at its last round of financing)... ask for a "fairness opinion." You can also hire the investment bank to find a independant buyer for you, to which they will take a fee ... most likely the buyer will be some venture capital firm or high-net-worth individual. THIS OF COURSE ALL ASSUMES THAT THE COMPANY IN WHICH YOU HOLD THIS EQUITY COULD BE CONSIDERED AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT.
  • Yes, you need to "liquidate" your shares. If the company is in the stock market exchange, as an IPO (initial public offering) then you will have no problem selling your shares of stock. But if the company you are invested in has NOT gone public yet, (like the first response to this question said) you will have to sell the shares back to the company or to another private shareholder. Good luck! Take care.
  • CHECK WITH A STOCK BROKER, HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF IT FOR YOU FOR A FEE.
  • I don't think you can unload to the public. Since it is a private company you must deal with the other members of the company. not 100% on this answer
