Swiss Company Formation & Relocation for Entrepreneurs
Coordinate company setup, founder work permission, governance and cross-border tax questions for a Swiss business base.
Overview
A Swiss AG requires at least CHF 100,000 share capital; at incorporation at least 20% of each share’s nominal value and at least CHF 50,000 in total must be paid in. A GmbH requires CHF 20,000 fully paid in. Swiss-resident representation and the applicable governance, licensing and reporting duties must be arranged with qualified specialists. Start with what the business will actually do in Switzerland: who manages it, where the team works, which customers it serves and what contracts or assets may move. Incorporating a company is separate from obtaining the founder’s right to work. Ask specialists to assess payroll, social insurance, VAT, licensing and the implications for existing overseas entities. We coordinate the relocation workstream with your corporate and tax advisers. The engagement should specify who handles incorporation, banking, permits and ongoing administration.
