Swiss Company Formation and Management

Absolutely—foreign nationals are welcome to establish companies in Switzerland. However, a few key requirements apply. If you reside in Switzerland and hold the appropriate residence and work permits, you can set up a business just like a local.

For those living abroad, Swiss law requires that at least one company director be a Swiss resident with individual signing authority. This ensures proper local representation and smooth communication with Swiss authorities. Many international entrepreneurs appoint a trusted Swiss-based director to meet this regulation.

Switzerland stands out as a prime destination for entrepreneurs seeking stability, access, and opportunity. With its consistently robust economy and impressive GDP, Switzerland provides a secure foundation for new ventures. Its strategic position at the heart of Europe means your business can tap seamlessly into both EU and global markets, making cross-border growth remarkably straightforward.

Tax advantages are another draw: certain regions and business types may qualify for significant tax breaks—including exemptions that span several years—helping you maximize resources during the critical early stages. Switzerland’s reputation for innovation is no accident; the country boasts world-class IT infrastructure and actively fosters technological advancement, making it an ideal environment for cutting-edge companies.

While Swiss salaries are known to be competitive, businesses may benefit from relatively modest overall labor costs, thanks to streamlined social insurance and lower indirect expenses. The result? Access to highly skilled talent without excessive operational overheads.

From high-performing financial systems to a deeply ingrained culture of precision and reliability, Switzerland offers an ecosystem where business can thrive on both the local and international stage.

Yes, Swiss law requires that every company (both AG and GmbH) has at least one director or manager who is a resident of Switzerland. This person acts as the official representative for local authorities. Our all-in-one service includes providing an experienced Swiss resident director to ensure your company is fully compliant from day one.

It's simple. We waive our service fees for all the legal and administrative work of a standard company formation when you subscribe to our 'Starter' package for a minimum of 12 months. You only cover the direct third-party costs like state and notary fees. It’s our way of creating a seamless, long-term partnership.

Choosing an all-in-one service saves you both time and money. Instead of coordinating between a separate accountant, domicile provider, and director, you have a single point of contact. This streamlines communication and processes through our digital platform, eliminates surprise bills, and is often up to 2x more cost-effective than managing multiple traditional firms.

Absolutely. Our entire model is designed for foreign entrepreneurs. Through our secure digital platform, you can access all your company documents, view mail, manage invoicing, and communicate with our team from anywhere in the world, at any time. We act as your efficient, remote Swiss office.

We combine the best of both worlds: the reliability of expert local support with the efficiency of a modern digital platform. Unlike traditional, time-billing firms, we offer predictable, fixed-cost packages. Our focus is on being a service-driven partner in your growth, not just a transactional provider for your Swiss company formation.
