Starting a company in Switzerland follows a clearly structured process, but it requires careful preparation. Those who address the appropriate legal structure, financial planning and administrative requirements at an early stage create a solid foundation for long-term success.
Choosing the Right Legal Structure
Whether sole proprietorship, LLC (GmbH) or corporation (AG), each legal form involves different liability and capital requirements. The decision should be made not only from a tax perspective, but also strategically with regard to growth and responsibility.
Capital & Registration
For capital companies, the legally required minimum capital must be deposited. This is followed by the notarized incorporation and registration in the commercial register – only then is the company officially able to operate.
Insurance & Legal Obligations
After registration, the necessary enrollments with social security (AHV), accident insurance and, where applicable, VAT must be completed. Proper organization during this phase prevents future legal and financial risks.
