If you want to compete in the contemporary global market, the choice of location for your business is very important. Switzerland has been developing its unique economic and political advantages for centuries. Nowadays, the right to free trade and industry is still guaranteed by the Swiss constitution for anyone doing business within the country. It is no wonder that a small landlocked state became a financial centre of world importance. There are more than 6500 foreign companies operating in Switzerland, and over 1000 of them are headquarters of large European and American companies.

Although foreign citizens are encouraged to start up a business in Switzerland, it is not a country where you can set up a company in a day. Sometimes, registration procedures seem to be a hard nut to crack. Goldblum and Partners offer professional support to new businesses throughout the establishment process. Our highly qualified team will offer you tailor-made solutions for any issues related to establishing a legal entity.

Business Switzerland — quick guideline

To facilitate the process of founding a business in Switzerland, it is necessary to follow these instructions:

Think over the type of the legal entity you are going to register — a limited liability company or a joint stock company. Note that any of these forms can be advantageous depending on your business needs
Determine the canton where you will set up a business. Switzerland is rather small, but comprises 26 autonomous cantons with independent laws and taxation. Most cantons offer special incentives for foreign investors
A new company has to be enrolled on the list of the Swiss Company Register. To accomplish this step, you should carefully fill in a company registration form

Also, make sure that the following documents are correct:

Articles of association
Capital deposit confirmation from a Swiss bank
Approval statement for the appointed directors
Notarized signature of a firm representative

Time to be spent on business registration

After the Swiss Company Register has confirmed the company's name, you will have to spend at least two or three weeks on the registration procedure. Opening a legal entity always involves third parties, such as local authorities, Swiss banks, lawyers, etc.

Although we can hardly complain about bureaucracy in Switzerland, be ready to wait for up to four or five weeks for your business to be established. If you want to speed up the process, Goldblum and Partners will be glad to assist you in all kinds of business issues. For more information about our services feel free to contact our team.
