Setting Up a Company in Switzerland from Abroad – What You Need to Know
Switzerland is a top choice for international entrepreneurs looking for stability, security, and an attractive tax environment. However, foreign founders need to fulfill several legal and procedural requirements before successfully launching a company.
DomizilAdresse.ch offers tailored support throughout this process – from a legally recognized business address to assistance with commercial register entry – to ensure your company foundation is both efficient and compliant.
Key Steps in the Company Formation Process
1. Legal Business Address (Domicile Address)
To register a company in Switzerland, you must have a valid Swiss business address. DomizilAdresse.ch provides professional and prestigious addresses in the Canton of Zug – one of the most business-friendly regions in Europe.
2. Swiss Representative (If Required)
