Fast-Track Your Business—But Check Before You Buy
A shelf company (also called a ready-made company) lets you start your Swiss business immediately—without waiting for incorporation or registration delays. It’s a practical option for entrepreneurs who want to get started fast.
But here’s the catch: not all shelf companies are equal. Some may have incomplete paperwork, missing filings, or an unclear ownership history. Performing due diligence ensures that the company you buy is clean, compliant, and ready to operate safely.
At DeinDomizil, we help entrepreneurs purchase verified, ready-to-use Swiss shelf companies—complete with clear documentation and professional guidance every step of the way.
1. Review the Company’s Legal Status and Background
Before buying, always confirm that the shelf company is truly inactive and free from financial or legal issues.
Ask to see:
- An official commercial register extract
- A declaration of no prior activity
- Tax clearance confirmation
- Updated Articles of Association
When you buy through DeinDomizil, you receive all verified documents up front, so you can proceed with full confidence that your new company has a clean legal history.
2. Choose a Provider You Can Trust
Buying a shelf company isn’t just about speed—it’s about trust and compliance. A reliable Swiss provider will follow AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations and handle the transfer through official channels.
DeinDomizil works with experienced Swiss legal and fiduciary experts to manage:
- Ownership transfer and notarization
- Shareholder registration updates
- Swiss director or titular appointments
- Domiciliation and address management
3. Confirm the Registered Domicile
Every Swiss company must have an official business address in Switzerland. Even a dormant company must maintain this domicile to stay legally active.
Our domicile address services ensure that your company is registered at a reputable, compliant Swiss location—such as Zug or Baar—recognized by local authorities.
We can also assist you with:
Together, these services make your Swiss setup smooth, transparent, and fully compliant.
4. Make Sure the Structure Fits Your Business Plans
Before finalizing your purchase, check that the company’s legal form, share capital, and purpose match your intended business.
Our team helps you adapt your new company by:
- Changing the name or activity
- Adjusting the share capital
- Relocating the domicile if necessary
- Updating board or director details
This ensures that your company is not only legally compliant—but also aligned with your growth plans from day one.
