01
The context

A change of partner, a new Geneva base.

A Swiss Group SA, a company specialised in medical devices and registered in Zurich, was looking to replace its resident trustee director and to transfer its registered office to a canton better aligned with its strategy.

Beyond the simple Commercial Register transfer, the client expected a partner capable of taking over the entire administration: legal and tax advice, mail handling, accounting, VAT, payroll. A single point of contact, with no operational disruption.

Our client was looking for a new resident trustee director and an address to domicile the company. We proposed a director and domiciliation mandate, alongside a corporate services administration mandate. A single point of contact for all of Switzerland.
