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.

 VAT Registration

We'll register your company for VAT with the relevant authorities to ensure that the registration is done correctly and you can take full advantage of claiming back VAT on eligible items that you purchase.

 Social Insurance Registration

All newly registered companies need to submit a registration from to the authorities for social security.  This not only ensure compliance, but also that you are paying the correct amount for social contributions on a monthly basis.

 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.

 Accounting Software Setup

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 300 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.

 Quarterly VAT Returns for 1 year

No one wants to get on the wrong side of the VAT office by filing documents late.  We'll complete your quarterly returns for you, ensuring that you are not penalised for late delivery.

 Preparation of Annual Tax Return

At the end of the financial year, we'll prepare the tax return ready for your to check and approve.  This will be based on the transactions in the accounting system.

 Notary Fee

We'll pay the notary fee for certifying your incorporation documents with our local notary (normally around CHF500).  Note that fee for certifying signatures is also included for up to two persons.  For each additional person, there will be an additional fee of approximately CHF 20 per person.
