Maintain personal contact
Our attorneys will get back to you quickly—usually within 24 hours (depending on the package you choose). You’ll receive all the incorporation documents, have any questions answered, and can schedule a personal consultation if needed.
Review documents
Take your time: You can easily read through, print, and sign all the documents at home—without feeling rushed.
Certify a signature
Have your signature officially certified, for example, at a notary's office. This certification ensures that the signature is indeed yours.
Wait for the entry in the commercial register
We'll take care of the rest: We'll file all the documents with the Commercial Registry and oversee the registration process until it is successfully published. For GmbHs and AGs, the paid-in capital is then transferred to a business account and is available to your company.
Celebrate the founding
You did it! Your company is officially registered, legally authorized to conduct business, and ready to make its first transactions. Congratulations!
Everything from a single source—even after the company is founded
For us, “worry-free” means you don’t have to worry about anything you don’t want to. Our attorneys review every document, coordinate the notarial certification, and submit everything to the Commercial Register. If you have any questions, you’ll reach real people—no hold music, no chatbot.
And because a hassle-free start involves more than just a Commercial Register entry: Through our partners—leading Swiss banks, insurance companies, and fiduciaries—you can also get a business account, insurance, and bookkeeping services all in one package, if you’d like. If you choose certain partner offers, they’ll even contribute toward your startup costs. You decide for yourself what’s right for you—transparently, with no fine print.
