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.
The reference Corporate Services Provider for cross-border executives and international companies
My Swiss Company SA supports entrepreneurs and investors active in demanding cross-border environments. Our approach combines structuring, taxation and genuine economic substance, with execution capacity in Switzerland and internationally.
We work on projects where credibility, compliance and overall consistency are decisive — before banks, authorities and partners.

Everything to know about corporate services & accounting in Switzerland
Clear answers on setting up, running and administering a company in Switzerland.
In Switzerland, a Corporate Services Provider is the equivalent of an accounting firm with a wider remit: it keeps the books, files VAT returns, runs payroll and represents the company before the authorities.
What is a Corporate Services Provider and what does it do?
A Swiss Corporate Services Provider supports companies across their administrative, accounting, tax and governance needs. It goes well beyond bookkeeping: end-to-end support from company formation to tax compliance, including payroll, VAT and representation before the Swiss authorities. Learn more in our guide to accounting in Switzerland.
How much do corporate services and accounting cost in Switzerland?
For SME bookkeeping, expect flat fees from around CHF 250 per month depending on the volume of transactions, or CHF 150–250 per hour on a time-spent basis. Annual financial statements for a GmbH/Sàrl typically fall between CHF 800 and CHF 2’500. The final fee depends on your legal form, the number of entries, payroll and VAT status — My Swiss Company AG issues a precise quote after reviewing your file.
What is the difference between a Corporate Services Provider and an accountant?
An accountant records transactions and prepares the accounts. A Corporate Services Provider like My Swiss Company AG covers a broader scope: bookkeeping, tax, VAT, payroll, domiciliation, governance and representation before the authorities — through a single point of contact. For international founders, that means one partner instead of coordinating several local providers.
How do I choose a reliable Corporate Services Provider in Switzerland?
Check its track record with international clients, its responsiveness and its ability to work in your language. Favour a provider that offers a single dedicated contact for all your needs and holds genuine cross-border expertise if you are based abroad. My Swiss Company AG has operated under Swiss standards since 1989, with a 4.7/5 client rating and offices in three cantons.
Can I run my Swiss company from abroad, in English?
Yes. My Swiss Company AG supports foreign executives who manage their Swiss subsidiary or company from abroad: resident director, domiciliation, accounting, VAT and cross-border tax — the entire relationship is handled in English. The one condition is real economic substance in Switzerland (effective seat, local governance, documented decisions), without which the structure stays fragile before banks and tax authorities.
What is the difference between a local and an international provider?
A local provider mainly handles SME files within one canton. An internationally oriented Swiss provider like My Swiss Company AG adds cross-border expertise: double-taxation treaties, support for founders from 20+ countries, and multi-jurisdictional tax specifics. My Swiss Company AG operates across three cantons — Geneva, Lucerne and Zug.
Can I switch provider during the financial year?
Yes. A corporate services mandate is governed by Swiss agency law and can be terminated at any time (art. 404 CO), even if the simplest moment remains year-end, after the closing. The new provider coordinates the handover — accounting records, access, pending VAT and payroll filings — with no interruption for the company. My Swiss Company AG regularly takes over mandates mid-year after a preliminary review of the file.
Is a Swiss-resident director mandatory?
Yes. Swiss law requires the company to be represented by at least one person resident in Switzerland: a director for an SA/AG (art. 718 CO), a managing officer for a Sàrl/GmbH (art. 814 CO). My Swiss Company AG provides resident director and managing-officer mandates, exercised within a strict framework of governance, KYC and documented oversight, to meet this legal requirement.
In which cantons does My Swiss Company operate?
My Swiss Company AG 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.
