Swiss Aktiengesellschaft incorporation with a minimum share capital of CHF 100,000 — the gold standard for Swiss companies.
An Aktiengesellschaft (AG) is the preferred structure for larger enterprises, holding companies, and businesses that anticipate external investment or a public listing. With a minimum share capital of CHF 100,000 (of which CHF 50,000 must be paid in at formation), the AG conveys maximum credibility.
Our AG formation service covers the full incorporation lifecycle: drafting the articles, arranging the notarial deed, coordinating the capital deposit at a Swiss bank, and managing the commercial registry entry. We work with experienced notaries and banks to ensure a smooth process.
Key Benefits
- Maximum corporate credibility and prestige

Resident Director
Swiss resident director service to satisfy the legal requirement for local representation.
Swiss corporate law requires that at least one person authorised to represent the company (director or managing officer) is resident in Switzerland. For international founders who do not live in Switzerland, this can be a significant hurdle.

You choose your preferred handling method: digital scanning with encrypted delivery, physical forwarding to any global address, or a combination of both. Notifications are sent the same day mail is received, keeping you informed in real time.

VAT Registration
Swiss MWST/VAT registration, quarterly filing, and representation before the Federal Tax Administration.
If your Swiss company generates annual revenue exceeding CHF 100,000 from taxable supplies in Switzerland, VAT registration is mandatory. Even below this threshold, voluntary registration can be advantageous — allowing you to reclaim input VAT on Swiss expenses.
Our VAT service manages the entire process: determining your registration obligation, preparing and submitting the application, setting up compliant invoicing procedures, and handling quarterly or semi-annual VAT filings. We also represent you in any communications with the Federal Tax Administration (ESTV).

- Input VAT recovery optimisation
- Avoid penalties through timely, accurate filings

Payroll
Swiss payroll administration — salary processing, social insurance contributions, and withholding tax compliance.
Employing staff in Switzerland comes with a complex web of obligations: AHV/IV/EO contributions, unemployment insurance (ALV), accident insurance (UVG), pension fund (BVG) administration, and withholding tax on salaries for foreign employees.
Our payroll service handles all of this on your behalf. We calculate gross-to-net salaries, prepare monthly payslips, file all social insurance declarations, manage withholding tax deductions, and keep you informed of regulatory changes.

Bank Account Support
Facilitation of Swiss corporate bank account opening for non-resident founders.
Opening a Swiss corporate bank account as a non-resident founder can be challenging. Swiss banks apply strict due diligence procedures, and the process often involves in-person meetings, extensive documentation, and weeks of correspondence.
Our bank account support service leverages established relationships with major Swiss banks to streamline the process. We prepare your application package, advise on bank selection based on your business profile, and coordinate communication until the account is operational.

Company Amendments
Management of changes to your Swiss company — director changes, capital increases, address updates, and purpose modifications.
As your business evolves, your Swiss company may need structural changes: adding or removing directors, increasing share capital, changing the company purpose, or updating the registered address. Each change requires notarisation and commercial registry filing.
Our company amendments service manages the entire process. We draft the required resolutions, coordinate with the notary, prepare commercial registry filings, and ensure all changes are properly reflected in the public record.
