No. The nationality of the company founders is irrelevant. Regulations only apply to the composition of the company's executive bodies:

  • PLC: At least one member of the board of directors or one director with sole signing rights must be permanently resident in Switzerland (nationality is no longer relevant).
  • LLC: At least one managing director with sole signing rights must be resident in Switzerland.
