What to Check Before Buying a Vintage Swiss AG or GmbH
Purchasing a vintage AG or GmbH is an efficient way to start a business in Switzerland without waiting for a new company to be incorporated. However, before completing the transaction, it is important to ensure the company has a clean tax and financial history.
Review Tax and Financial Records
A thorough review of the company's tax returns, financial statements, and VAT status helps identify any outstanding liabilities before ownership changes. Even dormant companies may still have reporting obligations, making due diligence an essential part of the acquisition process.
Carefully checking these records can prevent unexpected tax claims and provide greater confidence when taking over the company.
Further information on Swiss tax regulations is available from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (FTA):
