Initial consultation

If you have a question before, during or after the incorporation process, we are here to help. Call us to clarify any open points or get any questions answered or explained. We look forward to hearing from you..

Company name search

We will check that the company name is available before preparing the documents. In Switzerland, it is not possible to reserve a company name, so we will do our best to keep the incorporation time window from our side to a minimum.

Company purpose formulation

Every company needs to define its core activities before submitting the papers for incorporation.  We will work with you to prepare suitable wording that is likely to be accepted by the registry.

Incorporation documents

We will prepare the documents that need to be signed and then submitted to the authorities for your company incorporation.  This will minimise the effort required from your side.

Management of entire process

We are there to help you before, during and until the end of the process.  This will ensure that the process will run seamlessly from you placing the order to completing the company incorporation.

Capital deposit account

We are able to assist you with opening a bank account in order to deposit and temporarily block the capital for the company incorporation.  The certificate provided by the bank after this is done will be required as proof that needs to be shown to the notary when signing the documents.  Note that the bank may levy a one time fee for this account setup (typically around CHF 250).

 Shared Office

Having a shared office gives you a real desk to perform all the company administration etc.  It also doubles up as your company's registered address, so you do not need to purchase the registered address service separately.  Having a shared office will also mean that you do not need to have the 'c/o' address line.  Your shared office will be in Canton Zug, which also happens to be one of the most tax-friendly cantons in Switzerland.

 Pension Policy Setup

All Swiss companies require a company pension policy.  Using our experience, we will collect at least one offer for you, which we believe is competitive with companies of a similar size.  Note: although the company pension is compulsory in Switzerland, it is provided by a private insurance company.  This means that the pricing varies from company to company.

 Accident Insurance Setup

All Swiss companies are required to have an accident insurance policy in place which cover their employees for occupational and non-occupational accidents.  Using our experience, we will obtain at least one competitive insurance offer for your company.

 Sickness Insurance Setup

Not a mandatory requirement for a company in Switzerland, but it well advised.  Sickness insurance is a percentage based insurance that will cover an employees salary if they should fall long term sick.  We will obtain at least one competitive offer for sickness insurance, leaving you will the final decision of taking out the policy-.

Before we can do any accounting, we need to set you up in an accounting system.  Here, we will setup your accounts in our shared system, which will offer you a cost effective solution for your accounting.

 Financial Accounting for 1 year

We book up to 600 transactions in the accounting system for your company.  This will allow you to focus on your key business activity.  Note that raising and sending invoices to your clients or making the bank transfers is not including in this package.  These services can of course be obtained from us for an additional fee, depending on your exact requirements.

Do I have to use a Swiss address when incorporating an LLP or LTD company?

Yes, a Swiss address is required as the registered address as a minimum.

 

Which is the best address options for me as a Non-Resident?

You can either use a registered ('domicile') address, which is cheap, but will have a c/o address line in it. Alternatively, you can rent space in a shared office - this is cheaper than renting dedicated office space and it does not have a "c/o" line in the address. Shared office address and mail forwarding service is already included into an International Plus Package.

 

Why do I need a 'Nominee Director' service included into the Package?

To incorporate a Swiss LLP (GmbH), at least one director, who can sign on behalf of the company must be a Swiss resident.
to incorporate a Swiss LTD (AG), a member of the board or a director, who can solely sign on behalf of the company, must be a Swiss resident.  We have included this option as an absolutely necessary part of the package.
