If you\u2019re considering setting up a limited company (SA\/AG<\/strong>) in Switzerland, it\u2019s essential to understand the legal, financial and tax aspects of the process. A\u00a0<\/span>qualified\u00a0<\/span>Swiss Corporate Services Provider<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0can help you every step of the way, from drafting the articles of association to registering with the relevant authorities. Below, we present the key information for setting up an SA\/AG in Switzerland, and the importance of calling on the services of a professional fiduciary.<\/p>\n Choosing the legal structure:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>The joint-stock company (or public limited company) is a corporate form often chosen for larger companies. It offers limited liability for\u00a0<\/span>shareholders<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and enables capital to be raised through the issue of shares. Before taking the plunge, it\u2019s crucial to assess whether the SA\/AG is the most suitable structure for your specific needs. It\u2019s more flexible, more confidential and more credible than a Swiss limited liability company (S\u00e0rl\/GmbH).<\/p>\n Drafting the Articles of Association:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>The Articles of Association are a fundamental document that must include information such as the company\u2019s name, registered office, object, share capital, distribution of shares and corporate bodies.\u00a0<\/span>My Swiss Company \u2013\u00a0<\/span>Swiss Corporate Services Provider<\/span><\/a>\u00a0will help you draw up articles of association that comply with current legislation and your specific requirements.<\/p>\n Share capital:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>In Switzerland, an SA\/AG must have a minimum share capital of\u00a0<\/span>CHF 100,000<\/strong>. This capital is divided into shares, which represent the company\u2019s ownership interests. My Swiss Company \u2013 Fiduciary in Switzerland will help you set up the share capital and ensure it is properly managed.<\/p>\n Registration with the relevant authorities:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Once the articles of association have been drawn up and the share capital established, you must register your SA\/AG with the\u00a0<\/span>Commercial Register<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>and the Tax Office. My Swiss Company \u2013\u00a0Corporate Services Provider<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in Switzerland will prepare the necessary documents, submit them and closely monitor the registration process.<\/p>\n Financial, accounting and tax management:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>My Swiss Company \u2013\u00a0<\/span>Corporate Services Provider<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in Switzerland will provide you with\u00a0<\/span>expertise in financial, accounting and tax management<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>for your SA\/AG.
