What number of shares should be logged in the stock transfer ledger?

It is recommended that you use the same language as used on the stock certificate to describe the shares that were transferred. Note whether the shares are common stock or preferred stock and whether the shares are a part of any class or series. For instance, you might enter "500 Common Stock Class A and 100 Preferred Shares." Keep in mind that many companies do not use classes, in which case you would simply write "500 Common Stock."

What are the next steps after the stock transfer ledger has been drafted?

The ledger should be kept with the corporate records. It is recommended to also note the transfers in your next corporate meeting minutes recognizing and approving the transfer of shares.
