Corporate Services Provider in Switzerland: our services for SMEs, executives and international companies
My Swiss Company SA is a high-value-added advisory Corporate Services Provider, specialised in the formation, administration and structuring of Swiss companies, as well as in compliance and the securing of complex transactions.
We mainly handle sensitive or high-stakes files where the margin for error is narrow and where a standardised approach is not appropriate. Our services notably cover the structuring of Swiss companies, subsidiaries, branches and holdings, the analysis of Swiss, cross-border and international taxation, the implementation of genuine economic substance in Switzerland, and the coordination of projects involving multiple jurisdictions.
Our approach is intentionally selective. We only support files that we are able to present and defend credibly before banks, tax authorities, auditors and institutional partners. This requires, upstream, a rigorous analysis of the business model, financial flows, regulatory risks and overall consistency of the project.
Accounting, VAT, Payroll & SME Taxation
The accounting management of an SME in Switzerland is more than an administrative obligation: it is a foundation of compliance and steering in the face of FTA requirements, AHV controls and VAT issues. We handle day-to-day bookkeeping, annual closings under the Swiss Code of Obligations, VAT returns and payroll management with a structured, documented and defensible approach. Our work aims to secure the company's tax and social position while ensuring overall consistency with its actual activity and regulatory obligations.
- Bookkeeping, year-end closing and financial statements compliant with the CO
- VAT: returns, rate review and prevention of reassessments
- Payroll: AHV, BVG, UVG, permits and employee taxation
Swiss Company Formation: SA, Sàrl, Branch & Holding
Forming a Swiss company involves much more than a simple filing with the Commercial Register: it means ensuring full consistency between activity, legal structuring, taxation, substance and banking access. We support the incorporation of SAs, Sàrls, branches or holdings while integrating operational and regulatory constraints from day one. The choice of structure is not driven by capital alone, but by governance, the business model, expected flows and the credibility of the project before banks and authorities.
- Company formation: SA, Sàrl, branch office & holding
- Incorporation with notarial deed, capital and Commercial Register filing
- Business formation with banking and tax logic in mind
Swiss Resident Director & Manager: Trustee Mandate
The appointment of a Swiss resident director or manager is not merely a legal requirement: it engages the company's liability and its local credibility. We assume these mandates within a strict governance framework, with control processes, KYC procedures and regular monitoring. The objective is to ensure effective representation in Switzerland in line with the Swiss Code of Obligations, while guaranteeing genuine supervision of the company's activities and defensible documentation in the event of a control.
- Swiss resident director for SAs with valid representation
- Swiss resident manager for Sàrls with documentary follow-up
- KYC, governance and periodic controls in Switzerland
Company Domiciliation: Registered Office & Mail
Domiciliation of a Swiss company is not limited to the provision of an address: it directly contributes to the credibility of the structure before authorities, banks and partners. We offer integrated domiciliation solutions, designed as a building block of genuine economic and administrative substance, with mail handling, official notifications and consistency with the company's organisation. The goal is not to create a mere formal presence, but a compliant decision-making base.
- Registered office address, c/o and official notifications to the Commercial Register
- Receipt, sorting and forwarding of administrative and banking mail
- Domiciliation embedded in a genuine administrative structure
Swiss VAT Fiscal Representative for Foreign Companies
VAT registration in Switzerland for a foreign company entails strict obligations and direct liability for the fiscal representative. We act as the contact point with the FTA to secure registration, structure VAT flows and ensure the compliance of returns. Our approach aims to anticipate the risk of being subject to VAT, avoid reassessments and guarantee consistent management between commercial, customs and tax operations in Switzerland.
- Swiss VAT registration and official fiscal representation
- Quarterly VAT returns, corrections and exchanges with the FTA & customs
- Upstream analysis of VAT subjection and non-compliance risks
Creation & Administration of Swiss Foundations
Setting up a foundation in Switzerland requires rigorous structuring, effective governance and a clearly defined purpose. We support patrimonial, philanthropic and institutional projects by ensuring legal, tax and operational consistency. A foundation only makes sense when it rests on a genuine intent and a credible organisation; our role is to structure, frame and secure its functioning over time, in compliance with the requirements of the supervisory authorities.
- Setting up of private, family or public-utility foundations
- Structuring, board governance and annual administrative monitoring
- Tax framework, possible exemption and documentary compliance

Why My Swiss Company
Strategic location in Switzerland
The choice of canton is a structuring decision that goes far beyond taxation. We analyse each location based on the activity, the flows, the governance and the operational stakes. Whichever canton is chosen, the goal is to ensure overall consistency between taxation, substance and economic credibility, in a logic that is defensible before authorities and partners.
Genuine economic substance
Presence in Switzerland is not declared, it is demonstrated. We put in place effective substance: offices, local governance, decisions taken and documented on site. The goal is to meet Swiss and international requirements (BEPS, substance reviews) and to make the structure defensible before tax authorities, banks and auditors.
International structuring & holdings
International structuring requires a fine command of flows, tax treaties and local constraints. We design holdings and cross-border structures integrating taxation, intra-group financing, intellectual property and substance requirements. Each set-up is engineered to be coherent, justifiable and sustainable over time.
Reinforced compliance & banking standards
Our status as financial and tax advisors imposes a high level of compliance, KYC and anti-money laundering practice. We apply rigorous due-diligence procedures aligned with the expectations of Swiss banks. This requirement guarantees clean, documented structures that are acceptable in strict regulatory environments.
Senior steering & dedicated contact
Each mandate is led by a seasoned contact, capable of handling complex and cross-cutting issues. We favour direct, responsive and multilingual communication, with a level of involvement matched to the stakes. The objective: fast, structured and defensible decisions.
Swiss confidentiality & data protection
Confidentiality rests on a strict legal framework and controlled infrastructures. We process data in compliance with Swiss law, with local hosting, secured access and no uncontrolled transfer. Your information remains protected within a legally robust environment.

Everything to know about Corporate Services Providers and Swiss company formation
Clear and accessible answers to your questions on setting up, taxation and corporate management in Switzerland.
What is a Corporate Services Provider and what is its role?
A Swiss Corporate Services Provider is a professional firm that supports companies in their administrative, accounting, tax and legal management. It goes well beyond simple bookkeeping: it provides an overall strategic support, from company formation to tax optimisation, including payroll management and representation before the authorities.
What is the difference between a local and an international Corporate Services Provider?
A local provider mainly handles SME files in a given canton. A Swiss Corporate Services Provider with international reach, such as My Swiss Company SA, also brings cross-border expertise: knowledge of double-taxation treaties, support of foreign entrepreneurs from 20+ countries and command of multi-jurisdictional tax specifics. My Swiss Company SA covers three cantons — Geneva, Lucerne and Zug.
What types of companies can be formed in Switzerland?
In Switzerland, you can form an SA (public limited company), a Sàrl, a branch office, a holding, or a private or public-utility foundation. My Swiss Company SA supports you in choosing the legal form best suited to your project and tax situation.
What are the steps to form a Swiss company?
The formation of a Swiss company follows several steps: choice of legal form (SA, Sàrl, branch office), selection of the canton based on tax advantages, drafting of the articles of association and notarisation, opening of the escrow capital deposit account and paying-in of capital, registration in the Commercial Register, appointment of a Swiss resident director, then VAT registration and social insurance affiliation. My Swiss Company SA handles the entire process in Geneva, Lucerne and Zug.
How long does it take to form a company?
The average lead time is 2 to 4 weeks, including drafting of the articles of association, opening of the escrow capital deposit account, notarisation and registration in the Commercial Register. Some simple structures can be operational within 10 business days.
Is a Swiss-resident director mandatory?
Yes, Swiss law requires that at least one member of the board of directors (SA) or one manager (Sàrl) be domiciled in Switzerland. My Swiss Company SA provides resident director or manager mandates to meet this legal obligation.
What is a VAT fiscal representative?
A VAT fiscal representative is mandatory for foreign businesses generating taxable turnover in Switzerland without having a registered office there. The representative manages VAT registration, quarterly returns and correspondence with the FTA.
What are the tax advantages in Switzerland?
Switzerland offers some of the lowest corporate income tax rates in Europe (11 to 15% depending on the canton), political and economic stability, a strong currency (CHF), a network of 100+ double-taxation treaties and a favourable regulatory environment.
How does Franco-Swiss taxation work for companies?
The double-taxation treaty between France and Switzerland allocates the right to tax income between the two countries. For a French company setting up in Switzerland, this determines where profits, dividends and interest are taxed. My Swiss Company SA masters these mechanisms to optimise your tax situation.
What advantages does a Corporate Services Provider bring to a company?
Three major advantages: specialised expertise (knowledge of Swiss laws, cantonal nuances and federal standards), time savings (outsourcing of accounting, tax and administrative tasks) and risk reduction (a shield against costly mistakes, penalties and tax disputes).
In which cantons does My Swiss Company operate?
My Swiss Company SA has offices in Geneva (Rue Ferdinand Hodler 23), Lucerne (Tribschenstrasse 62a) and Zug. These three cantons offer some of the most competitive tax rates in Switzerland and a strategic position for international companies.
How to choose a competent Corporate Services Provider in Switzerland?
Check its FINMA registration, its experience with international clients, its responsiveness and its ability to communicate in your language. Favour a provider that offers a single point of contact for all your needs and that brings cross-border expertise if you come from abroad.
