AG (Aktiengesellschaft)or SA ( Société Anonyme) Formation in Switzerland
Establish your Swiss AG with maximum credibility, shareholder privacy, and seamless share transfer—trusted by global investors and Swiss banks.

Why Choose an AG or SA for Your Swiss Business?
The AG (Aktiengesellschaft) or SA (Société Anonyme) is Switzerland's most respected corporate form, conferring unmatched prestige and trustworthiness for your business. With share-based capital, it’s ideal for companies planning significant growth, seeking investment, or requiring formal governance.
Shareholder Anonymity
Unlike a GmbH, the shareholders of an AG are not publicly listed in the Commercial Register, offering a high degree of privacy and confidentiality.
Enhanced Credibility
The AG structure and its higher capital requirement signal stability and prestige to financial institutions and international partners.
Simple Share Transfer
Shares can be transferred easily and privately (for non-listed shares), simplifying changes in ownership or bringing in new investors.
Preferred by Investors
The formal corporate structure is well-understood and preferred by venture capitalists and private equity investors worldwide.
AG vs. GmbH: Choose the Right Entity
The choice between an AG and a GmbH is a key strategic decision. While the AG offers more prestige and privacy, the GmbH provides more flexibility with a lower capital requirement.
