Exit Strategy & Repatriation

Exit planning, share sale execution, and capital-and-dividend repatriation for foreign investors leaving or rotating Iranian positions.

Capital repatriation from Iran is the single most-asked question by foreign investors — and it is solvable when planned from the start. We design exit routes from day one of the investment, and execute them when the time comes: trade sale, secondary buy-out, IPO on the Tehran Stock Exchange, or wind-down. Every route is paired with a documented currency-repatriation plan.

Exit in detail

Separate the right to transfer from the ability to settle

Review the original investment licence, registered capital inflows and tax position before choosing a sale, dividend, buyback or liquidation. Protection under FIPPA does not by itself provide foreign currency, an accepting bank or immunity from sanctions. Model proceeds after liabilities, taxes, currency conversion and transaction costs. Verify the required approvals and the settlement chain with counsel and the institutions involved; avoid promising a fixed transfer rate or completion window.
