- Set up a joint venture (partnership or corporation);
- Acquire an existing company in Switzerland (partnership or corporation);
- Create a (Strategic) alliance with or without a capital investment.
NOTE: Limited liability company (“GmbH”)
The limited liability company (“GmbH”) is a smaller version of the “AG”, and is becoming increasingly popular for small and medium-sized companies. Each partner contributes to the company capital, and is liable only to the extent of the company’s registered capital.
Advantages of the limited liability company over the “AG”:
- The company is a legal entity in which two or more persons or trading companies form a separate company with a predefined amount of capital (company capital).
- Lower minimum capital (CHF 20,000) and structural costs.
- Simple and brief articles of incorporation.
- Only two founding members are required (persons or trading companies).
- The “GmbH” company can later be managed as a sole proprietorship.
- The founders can themselves act as the corporate bodies (i.e. no board of directors is required).
- Auditors are optional.
