Swiss Dormant Company

A dormant company has certain features which define it as a unique establishment with some peculiarities due to its Swiss origin. This company should be included in the Swiss Financial Register and should be attached to a certain owner. That is why any vintage firm must have gone through the process of registration and have an existing legal address and deposits in several Swiss bank accounts. Furthermore, many dormant firms are available in cantons with lax taxation policies. This provides the chance to avoid overpayment connected with a strict system of taxation which has developed in some Swiss cantons.

It is evident that already-registered companies have their own reputation. The name may speak for itself and act as a boost for an investor willing to acquire a vintage company. Clients and prospective business partners are more likely to cooperate with proven, long-lasting names than with new brands. The latter do not evolve many business associations and may leave clients indifferent to company policies. In the modern business world the level of competition in some spheres is so high that investment in a Swiss dormant company may be one of the best decisions ever made.

Sole traders as well as corporate bodies may derive benefits from protecting their assets within the jurisdiction of the canton chosen. The regulations allow the investment of money in dormant companies so as to save assets and provide security for them. The essence of vintage off-the-shelf companies lies in the absence of financial activity for some period of time. However, they are formed on a legal basis and are fully incorporated in the Swiss economy. Investors who want to purchase one of the existing companies do not need to form their own unique establishments. This means:

• Mobile company acquisition
• Saving investor's time and money
• Boosting interest for a ready-made company with a new owner

Once the procedure of vintage company acquisition is finished, a new possession is ready to give profit to its owner

Foreign residents can possess one of two types of legal entity in Switzerland:

• Corporation
• Limited liability company

These economic institutions have certain differences, but they both provide opportunities to avoid overpayment. This is accounted for by the following fact: Switzerland has good relations with EU-members and enjoys bilateral agreements on taxation. On the other hand, a free trade zone with European countries helps to avoid any risks connected with low demand. That is why possessing a company in Switzerland has so many benefits for its owner.
