Founding a company requires several steps. The first step is to develop a business strategy. Then you need to choose the ideal company form that best suits your needs. This will often be a sole proprietorship, a limited liability company or a public limited company. Finally, the founding documents must be submitted to the commercial register office. In the case of a LLC or PLC, the founding meeting and the articles of association must also be publicly notarized and the capital must be deposited with a Swiss bank.

Depending on the legal form, various requirements must be met. In the case of corporations such as a LLC or PLC, the capital must be deposited with a Swiss bank, articles of association must be drawn up and an inaugural meeting must be held. The articles of association and the minutes of the inaugural meeting must be publicly notarized. The founding documents must then be submitted to the commercial register office and the corresponding registration fees paid to the office.
