Steps to create an SA or SARL company in Geneva

Geneva is a city that attracts many investors, especially those who want to start a business. At the heart of such a project are SA or SARL companies which particularly captivate a large number of professionals.

The capital company includes the Public Limited Company and the Limited Liability Company. To create one of these companies, it is essential to examine the inactivity of the selected company name within the Federal Office of the Trade Register. You can go to its address at Bundesrain 20 – 003 Berne, but also visit its website. The latter is a favorable option for a quick and well done check!

Once this franchise step, it is necessary to go through the deposit of the share capital in a cover account at a bank. For a Public Limited Company, the capital is set at CHF 100,000, especially for registered transactions. As for a Limited Liability Company, it is CHF 20,000. To certify the payment of the capital, the bank provides a certificate.

Whether for the SA or the LLC, the founder can be one or more people. The act of creating the company is signed by the founder (s) in front of a notary. The creators then declare the foundation of a Public Limited Company or a Limited Liability Company and immobilize the text of the articles of association.

For a public limited company, there must be an attribution from the board of directors and the review section. As for the LLC, there is the name of the manager or the managing employee, as well as the auditors.

Registration in the Commercial Register

For registration in the Trade Register, the managers put their legalized signatures on the registration form. This is sent to the clerk of the Commercial Register (at the address Rue du Puits-Saint-Pierre 4 – P.O. Box 359 – 1211 Geneva 3). Through registration in the Commercial Register, the company obtains legal personality.

By presenting the extract from the RC, the board of directors has the issued capital. This advice then implements the Business Plan. The CA also sets up control systems, both in the financial and accounting fields. He also concludes a rental contract. The company in question is associated with a compensation fund for the proclamation and payment of social charges!
