Swiss Resident Directors & Nominee Directors: Your Key to Swiss Company Compliance
Swiss corporate law mandates that every company must have at least one individual with a domicile in Switzerland representing it. This crucial requirement applies to:
-
Public Limited Companies (SA/AG): At least one member of the Board of Directors.
-
Limited Liability Companies (Sàrl/GmbH): At least one manager.
-
Swiss Foundations: A member of the Foundation Board (though not explicitly stated in your original, it’s relevant).

To seamlessly meet this condition, My Swiss Company SA offers Swiss resident director and Swiss nominee director mandates, provided by highly experienced and reliable professionals who satisfy all legal residency and professional qualification criteria. We empower you to fulfill your corporate governance obligations with confidence.
As a leading Swiss Corporate Services Provider, we are perfectly positioned to act as your company’s local representative, offering both local director and nominee director mandates tailored to your specific needs.
Swiss Resident Director & Local Manager Mandates: Who Needs Them?
Non-resident foreign entrepreneurs or shareholders who intend to establish or acquire a company in Switzerland are legally obliged to ensure the presence of a Swiss-domiciled representative. Specifically:
-
For Limited Liability Companies (Sàrl/GmbH): At least one manager or managing director must be domiciled in Switzerland (Art. 814 para. 3 Swiss Code of Obligations).
-
For Public Limited Companies (SA/AG): At least one member of the Board of Directors or a managing director must be domiciled in Switzerland (Art. 718 para. 4 Swiss Code of Obligations).
To fulfill this essential legal requirement, My Swiss Company SA offers various types of Swiss resident representation mandates for your company:
-
Swiss Resident Director (Chairman of the Board): Representing the company as Chairman of the Board of Directors of an SA/AG.
-
Swiss Resident Director (Board Member): Serving as a member of the Board of Directors of an SA/AG.
-

-
Swiss Deputy Director / Authorized Signatory: Individuals authorized to represent the company, often in conjunction with a main director.
-
Swiss Authorized Signatory: A person granted power of attorney to sign on behalf of the company, fulfilling specific representation needs.
Understanding Swiss Company Organs: SA/AG and Sàrl/GmbH
Each type of Swiss company (Public Limited Company – SA/AG, and Limited Liability Company – Sàrl/GmbH) has distinct corporate organs with specific roles, rights, and obligations, all working in concert for effective governance.
-
General Shareholders’ Meeting (SA/AG) or Partners’ Meeting (Sàrl/GmbH): This is the supreme governing body of the company. Comprising all shareholders or partners, it convenes at least annually to make fundamental decisions. These include approving annual financial statements, appointing or dismissing members of the Board of Directors/Managers, determining their remuneration, and amending the articles of association. Shareholders/partners exercise their voting rights and express their opinions on matters presented.
-
Board of Directors (SA/AG) or Board of Managers (Sàrl/GmbH): This is the company’s executive and supervisory body. It holds ultimate responsibility for the company’s overall management and strategic direction. Key decisions include investments, acquisitions, contracts, and significant hiring. The Board is also tasked with overseeing the executive management and ensuring the company’s compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
-
Executive Management: Responsible for the day-to-day operations, including financial management, human resources, and operational oversight. The executive management implements the strategy defined by the Board and ensures that company activities align with set objectives.
-
Auditor/Statutory Auditor (Reviser): Independent professionals whose role is to verify the conformity of the company’s annual financial statements with prevailing accounting principles and legal requirements. Their duty is to certify the fairness and regularity of the company’s accounts, providing an essential layer of oversight and trust.
Each organ possesses specific rights and obligations pertinent to its functions. Effective collaboration between these bodies is paramount to ensure the company is managed efficiently and in full compliance with Swiss legal requirements.
The Indispensable Role of a Swiss Resident Director or Manager
The role of a Swiss resident director or manager is multifaceted and critical for the legal and operational integrity of a Swiss company. Beyond merely fulfilling the residency requirement, these individuals ensure the sound management of the company and its proper representation to third parties. They bear significant legal responsibilities towards the company and its shareholders.
Key duties of a Swiss resident director or manager include:
-
Strategic and Operational Oversight: Responsible for the overall management and proper functioning of the company. This includes making significant decisions regarding company activities such as investments, acquisitions, contracts, and hiring.
-
Ensuring Legal and Regulatory Compliance: A core duty is to ensure the company’s adherence to all applicable Swiss laws and regulations. This encompasses overseeing the preparation of annual financial statements and reports, and implementing internal control procedures to guarantee full compliance.
-
External Representation: The director or manager acts as the official representative of the company vis-à-vis third parties, including clients, suppliers, government authorities, and shareholders. They are responsible for managing stakeholder relations and consistently acting in the company’s best interest.
-
Supervision of Daily Management: If the company has separate executive management, the director or manager supervises their work, ensuring that day-to-day operations (financial management, HR, operations) are conducted in accordance with company policies and procedures, and aligned with the overarching strategy.
Duties and Obligations of a Director or Manager of a Swiss Company
The duties and obligations of a director or manager of a Swiss company are rigorously governed by Swiss law, primarily stipulated in the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO). These individuals hold significant responsibilities towards the company itself, its shareholders, partners, and third parties. They are mandated to perform their duties with the utmost diligence, loyalty, and transparency, strictly adhering to all applicable laws and regulations, and taking every necessary measure to safeguard the company’s best interests.
Some of the most critical duties and responsibilities include:
-
Duty of Diligence (Care): Directors and managers must exercise their functions with the care and skill that would be expected from a reasonably prudent and competent person in a similar position. This involves actively informing themselves about the company’s affairs, making well-considered decisions, and ensuring the proper functioning of the business.
-
Duty of Loyalty: This fundamental duty requires directors and managers to act solely in the best interest of the company, prioritizing its welfare over any personal interests. They must scrupulously avoid conflicts of interest and refrain from using their position to gain personal advantage or cause detriment to the company.
-
Duty of Confidentiality: Directors and officers are obligated to maintain strict confidentiality regarding all company information. They must not disclose confidential data to third parties unless expressly authorized by the company or required by law.
-
Duty of Supervision: Directors and managers are responsible for continually monitoring the company’s management and operations. This includes ensuring that all activities comply with applicable laws, the company’s articles of association, and internal regulations. For the Board of Directors, this often involves overseeing the executive management.
-
Duty of Accountability: Directors and managers are accountable to the company’s shareholders and partners. They are responsible for the preparation of accurate financial statements and annual reports, which must be presented to shareholders at the annual general meeting.
-
Duty to Protect Interests (especially in crisis): Beyond general care, they must take proactive measures to identify and mitigate financial and other potential risks to the company. Crucially, in situations of capital loss or over-indebtedness (Art. 725 et seq. CO), their duties shift to safeguarding creditor interests and, if necessary, notifying the court of over-indebtedness.
Risks Associated with Being a Director or Manager of a Swiss Company
Serving as a director or manager of a Swiss company carries significant personal risks due to the extensive duties and obligations imposed by law. Understanding these risks is paramount for anyone assuming such a role.
Some of the most common risks include:
-
Civil Liability (Art. 754 CO): Directors and managers can be held personally and financially liable for damages caused to the company, shareholders, or third parties as a result of intentional or negligent breaches of their duties. This can occur if their actions (or inactions) lead to financial loss.
-
Financial and Tax Liability: Directors and managers bear responsibility for the company’s financial management. They can be held personally and jointly and severally liable for certain public debts, notably those related to social security contributions (AHV/AVS) and direct taxes, if due to their fault the company fails to pay.
-
Criminal Liability: In cases where offenses are committed during the performance of their duties, such as fraud, misuse of corporate assets, insider trading, or violations of specific regulatory laws (e.g., anti-money laundering regulations), directors and managers may face criminal prosecution under the Swiss Criminal Code.
-
Risk of Dismissal: Shareholders retain the right to dismiss directors and managers from their positions if there is a breach of duty, a conflict of interest, or simply if confidence is lost.
-
Administrative Sanctions: Regulatory authorities can impose administrative sanctions on directors and managers for violations of applicable laws and regulations. These can include significant fines, temporary bans from holding certain corporate functions, or other punitive measures.
-
Reputational Risk: Beyond legal and financial repercussions, directors and managers may suffer severe reputational damage if the company experiences significant losses, financial irregularities, or scandals as a direct result of their management or lack of oversight.
To minimize these substantial risks, it is imperative that directors and managers perform their duties diligently, faithfully, and in strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Proactive measures to prevent financial and other potential risks are essential, as is transparent communication with shareholders, partners, and other stakeholders. It is also highly recommended that individuals in such positions secure robust Directors and Officers (D&O) liability insurance to protect against the financial implications of potential liability claims.
The Distinct Role of a Swiss Nominee Director or Swiss Resident Director
While the Swiss nominee director or Swiss resident director fulfills a role similar to that of an ordinary director or manager, there are crucial distinctions in their operational involvement and ultimate purpose.
As previously mentioned, the primary function of a Swiss nominee director or Swiss resident director is often not to be involved in the day-to-day operational management of the company. Instead, they typically act as an independent third party appointed to:
-
Fulfill Legal Residency Requirements: Their foremost responsibility is to satisfy the mandatory Swiss legal requirement that every company must be represented by at least one person domiciled in Switzerland (Art. 718 para. 4 CO for SA/AG, Art. 814 para. 3 CO for Sàrl/GmbH). This makes them an indispensable solution for foreign entrepreneurs.
-
Ensure Sound and Transparent Governance: They are responsible for ensuring that the company maintains good corporate governance practices and that significant decisions are made in the best interests of the company and all its shareholders.
-
Oversee Company Activities: While not managing daily operations, they are expected to monitor the company’s activities, which includes reviewing financial reports, budgets, and strategic plans to ensure proper oversight.
-
Provide Expertise and Advice (if applicable): Depending on their professional background and the specific mandate, they may offer specialized expertise in certain areas or provide general advice on governance and compliance issues.
-
Ensure Legal and Regulatory Compliance: A key duty is to ensure the company consistently complies with all applicable Swiss laws and regulations, serving as a local anchor for legal adherence.
-
Protect Interests (especially of the company): While a Swiss nominee or resident director acts on the instructions of their shareholder or partner clients, their paramount duty is to faithfully protect the interests of the company. In the event of any conflict between the instructions of the shareholders/beneficial owners and the best interests of the company itself (or its creditors, particularly in financial distress), the interests of the company must always take precedence.
The Swiss nominee director or Swiss resident director is therefore an ideal solution for ensuring legal compliance, offering a reliable local presence, and providing an additional layer of professional oversight, particularly for international structures.
Swiss Nominee Director or Swiss Resident Director Services
The Mandate of a Swiss Nominee Director or Swiss Resident Director
A Swiss nominee director or Swiss resident director of a Swiss company is a distinct corporate function designed to fulfill specific legal and practical requirements.
- Ensuring Compliance with Swiss Residency Laws: This is the most common reason, as Swiss law mandates at least one Swiss-domiciled director/manager for local legal representation.
- Maintaining Confidentiality: To protect the privacy of the beneficial owners of the company, especially in international structures.
- Providing Specific Expertise: Offering particular industry or governance expertise without being involved in daily operations.
- Meeting Regulatory Requirements: Satisfying specific regulatory or licensing demands that require a local presence.
As a Swiss nominee director or Swiss resident director, the appointee is legally obligated to act impartially, diligently, loyally, and competently, always in strict accordance with applicable Swiss laws and regulations. Crucially, while they may act on the instructions of shareholders, their paramount fiduciary duty is always to the company’s best interests. They must not act in their own personal interest or solely in the interest of third parties if it conflicts with the company’s welfare.
