When is the share capital available again after incorporation?

The share capital is generally only blocked during the company formation phase (in a blocked account at any Swiss bank).

After entry in the commercial register, the money is released and transferred to the account of the newly founded company. In order to release the money, the bank requires a copy of the extract from the commercial register.

Note: For legal reasons, the share capital cannot be transferred to a private account after the company has been founded. A business account is mandatory.

The bank where you have deposited your capital should have given you an order form. Fill this out as soon as you know the account number of your business account so that the bank knows where your money should be transferred to.

After the transfer, the money is at the company's free disposal and can be used freely for operational purposes (purchase of furniture, materials, salary payments, etc.).
