Company Formation
From choosing a legal form and financial planning to commercial register registration – we support your company formation.
Why professional formation advisory?
Setting up a company in Switzerland offers enormous opportunities – but also numerous pitfalls. Legal form, financing, taxes, social insurance and the commercial register: getting the fundamentals right from the start saves costly corrections later.
We support you through the entire formation process – structured, clear and with a well-defined roadmap. From the initial idea to the operational launch, we're at your side as a dedicated point of contact.
In doing so, we consider not only the legal and tax aspects but also your personal retirement provision and protection as an entrepreneur – so your start rests on a solid foundation.

Our Services in Detail
Choice of legal form & structuring
Choosing the legal form is one of the most important decisions when starting a company. It affects liability, taxes, social insurance and later succession options.
We analyse your personal and business situation and recommend the optimal structure – whether a sole proprietorship for a lean start, an LLC as a middle ground, or a corporation for maximum flexibility.
Business plan & financial planning
A convincing business plan isn't just important for investors and banks – it also gives you clarity about your strategy, costs and revenue expectations.
We support you in creating a practical business plan with realistic financial planning, liquidity forecasting and break-even analysis.
Commercial register registration & formalities
From notarisation to commercial register registration and registration with the AHV compensation office, tax administration and VAT authorities – we coordinate all administrative steps.
You receive a clear timeline and don't have to navigate the bureaucratic jungle yourself.
Retirement provision & protection for founders
As a self-employed person, you bear the full risk. We make sure your personal retirement provision (AHV, BVG, pillar 3a) and your protection (disability, liability) are in place from the start.
This protects you and your family – without compromising your entrepreneurial flexibility.
Avoiding common mistakes
These are the mistakes we see most often in practice
Choosing the wrong legal form
A later conversion (e.g. sole proprietorship → LLC) is time-consuming, incurs notary and register fees, and can have tax consequences.
Neglecting retirement provision as a founder
Without BVG and adequate protection, you're left without income in the event of illness or accident – an existential risk.
Not properly calculating financing
Insufficient liquidity planning is one of the most common reasons young businesses fail in their first two years.
Overlooking the VAT registration requirement
From CHF 100,000 in revenue, VAT registration is mandatory. Those who act too late risk additional demands including late-payment interest.
