We know that our business is essential to our life, but we can't also deny the fact that someday we might need to transfer the ownership of our business. Aside from legal papers, we also need to know how to transfer the ownership of our online businesses without asking somebody's assistance especially if you want to make it discreet. In this documentation it will show you how to properly transfer the ownership of your google my business account.

21. After saving the last your last selection, Google will prompt another short message asking if you are sure about your decision as you cannot undo your selection after making it final. Once you clicked OK then the ownership will be automatically transferred to the selected account.
