With the foundation documents, the registry of commerce office creates the entry of your newly founded company. Important: The submitted documents must be free of errors and meet the requirements of the cantonal registry of commerce offices. Incorrect documents are sent back for correction, which entails additional costs and a longer waiting period.
If you set up your company with STARTUPS.CH, we will receive an extract from the registry of commerce for you to check after it has been entered in the commercial register (it is possible that the registry of commerce may contain typographical errors, therefore the extract from the registry of commerce must be checked immediately after receipt). Once the check has been carried out, it will be sent to you immediately by e-mail. The original will be sent by mail with the notarized foundation documents. As a company founder, you can dispose of the paid-in founding capital after the entry in the registry of commerce has been made.
