Have any of you done that or knows a lot about it? Want to share some experiences?


From the technical side, is that an easy thing to do? im often thinking of setting up some internet business, more for the experience than the profit, but have no idea of the technicalities or legalities involved?


I'm planning to move to Zürisch and for that reason looking for help to register my company in Switzerland if possible.


anyone here want to contribute to this thread? I think it could be an interesting topic.

Well first suggestion would be a Google search which I made for you, I found the below interesting:


Company formation - Swiss Consult


Only see bad reviews about the below, Looks not very professional, so be carefully, they can still be legit, don't know.


Switzerland - the ultimate domicile for your Family Office and financial well-being


If you can speak German, you may look here as well, I would think it may be possible to register the company while you are in Zürich.


Info Zrich


I will digg further and update here if I can find more..

Well there are plenty of lawyers available who can help you and which you may search for.


There are 2 types of companies available as far as I researched and they are as the following:

  • Sagl (like a LLC), capital chf 20'000, public holders
  • SA (like LTD), capital chf 100'000, private and bearer shareholders


I can't figure out at this time what the fees may be but will let you know once I have more.

Does anyone know a real estate in Zürich or Zug / Switzerland who may be able to help find a flat to rent?


I received from the migration office in Zürich the permission to move to Swiss if I can show them a contract to rent a flat, so it seems pretty easy everything :)

seomoz
I'm sure they are able to help you with contact details.

If you are an EU citizens there is absolutly no problem to move into Swiss as long as you have a rent agreement for a flat and you can show them a employment contract. Alternative if you are self employed you can show them audited reports as proof of a stable income.

Hello


I'm new to this forum however I might be able to help in this case, I'm living and working in Zurich itself (used tow ork 9 years for UBS) and since 4 years self employed in the financial industry (mainly wealth management but also getting into corporate services).


May I ask what is your monthly budget for rent. under homegate you find many things that are on the market and you can contact them.


As for opening a swiss company - the fees are probably around USD 6-7k, however its important to know that at least 1 owner of the company needs to be domicilied in Switzerland (nationality is obviously not required).


Also as already stated there are two companies availlable and the procedure is as follows, you check the availlabilty of the name and then you have to transfer either CHF 20k or CHF 100k to a bank and they will issue a confirmation that the funds are there and once you have this confirmation and you meet all other criterias you can incorporate the company.


Information about companies you can find under moneyhouse.ch


Also depending on the business you are looking for to establish you should look into the different cantons since taxes are pretty different.


However for any company in Switzerland you have to pay 8,5% of your net profit to the goverment directly and then cantonal taxes depending where yout set the compoany up.


Hope i could help a little, if you have more questions let me know.

OP say's he want to move to Switzerland so I would say he don't need a Nominee to act Director and/or shareholder ?
Do you know the requirements to establish a sole proprietorship firm in Switzerland? also what costs there may be involved.
 
#11
My budget is roughly CHF 1.500 - 1.700 I don't mind if it is between Zürich and Zug rather than directly in these citizes, but the flat must be something new not used and old.


Drillbill, you were fast, I want to ask for the sole proprietorship firm as well.


Seems we are a few here intrested maybe we should meet up in Zürich some day :D
 
#12
as for the sole proprietorship its pretty easy to establish and the costs are about 1000-1500 CHF, a requirement ist that the company name has your name in it (like Smith Adverstisement etc.)


The bad thing about a sole proprietorship is that you are personally 100% liable towards the company with all your private assets and that you dont get any unemployement money (hopefully that never happens obviously). Also you cant partner up with someone.


Drillbill Obviously correct if he lives here, he doesnt need anyone else.


As for the rent, sounds like reasonable to get something nice, have a look on homegate its also in english so you can check a bit around.

Just for just for curiosity do you know a firm that can help to set this up in Zürich and / or Zug and as well help with accounting and filing of tax? Feel free to post the company name here.
 
#14
Do you know of a rental company in the area in question which may have several flat's for rent, so one dosen't need to rent the flat privatly but rather through a regulated company specialised in this business?
 
#15
Admin, you can find a lot of information here "startups(dot)ch/en" (i'm not allowed yet to post links), as for accounting services for sole proprierorship you only have to have it once you do more then CHF 100k turnover.


I can also assist to help people since i work in finance and getting more into corporate services.


drillbill, im sure there are companies like that but on top of my head I wouldnt know one, but let me look shortly into it and i might be able to guide you to some, but without guarantee that they are really good :)

Thank you schoua, I went to the site Startup.ch ist die Internetplattform für innovative Unternehmen, Investoren und Personen aus der Startup-Szene Schweiz. and looking through it, seems your there is a link to some website to register your company as well, IFJ Firmengründung can you tell me, is this a public authority website or a company's website providing the incorporation of Swiss companies?
 
#17
Ahh I see for the registration of a sole proprietor firm you have to go:
seomoz
I think this is what JFK and DrillBill was looking for:thumbsUp:
 
#19
hmmm, interesting question I assume you mean the "stammkapital" in a GmBH or AG, right?


Actually I found this PDF, https://www.startbiz.ch/kmucms/content/infoCenter/doc/Rechtsformen_d.pdf


It says:

  • For a GmbH you have to pay in 100% of the 20.000 CHF
  • For a AG you have to pay in 20% of the 100.000 CHF but minimum 50.000 CHF :S -confused: not sure what that means.


But check the PDF at your own.
