Choosing the right legal structure, a major issue in starting a business

There are 3 main legal structures in Switzerland:

  • The sole proprietorship, which is aimed at the self-employed and liberal professions exercising their activity and residing in Switzerland,
  • The SARL, an economic structure mainly intended for SMEs and family businesses,
  • And SA, a complex type of company that offers reliability and anonymity.

Additional types make it possible to meet specific needs such as the auxiliary company, the service company or the offshore company. The Holding is another type of structure, this purely financial company offers an ideal way to manage participations in multiple companies. The Shell company is a company which can be an SARL like an SA. Created and then put to sleep, it can be activated at any time to allow a quick start of activity.
