How to register a company
in Switzerland |
There are two legal forms of commercial activity in Switzerland - the
joint-stock company / corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) and the limited
liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung).

establishing a limited liability company is less expensive and less
complicated than establishing a corporation. The GmbH form of business is
preferred over the AG by small and medium-sized companies. |
Formal requirements
In order to create a company in Switzerland, only one founder / shareholder
is required, who can be individual or company, of Swiss nationality or not,
