From Startup Dream to Swiss Business Reality — Here’s Exactly How to Form Your Company in Switzerland

Thinking of launching a company in Switzerland? Whether it’s for tax reasons, access to international markets, or reputation, setting up in Zug offers a clear path. But the process is regulated — from choosing a legal structure to registering with authorities. Fortunately, with the right help and this guide, you can complete each step smoothly and legally.

Your Roadmap to Starting a Swiss Company


1. Select a Legal Form
Choose between GmbH, AG, or sole proprietorship. GmbH is often best for startups due to flexibility and liability protections.
2. Name Your Company
Ensure uniqueness and legal approval through the Swiss Commercial Register.
3. Define Business Scope
Specify your activities clearly for transparency and compliance.
4. Set Your Company Address
You must have a verifiable business domicile. Learn what’s required under Swiss Commercial Law (HRegV) and Code of Obligations.
5. Open a Capital Account
Deposit the minimum share capital (CHF 20,000 for GmbH) at a Swiss bank.
6. Articles of Association & Notarization
Prepare and notarize your founding documents.
7. Submit to the Commercial Register
Send all paperwork to your cantonal registry.
8. Handle Tax & Social Security
Register for VAT, employee insurance, and contributions if applicable.
