Frequently asked questions about company formation.<\/h4><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>When should I start?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nThe ideal time to start depends on your individual situation. It is advisable to start when you have a solid business plan, sufficient financial resources, and market knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Where do I need to register and where can I find the necessary forms?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nDepending on the legal form of the company, registration usually takes place with the commercial register of your canton. We help you fill out the relevant forms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Which legal form is right for me?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nThe choice of legal form depends on your business model, your risk tolerance, and your financial capabilities. Together, we will weigh the pros and cons and support you in choosing the right legal form for your company.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What legal forms exist in Switzerland?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nIn Switzerland, there are generally two types of legal forms for companies: sole proprietorships and corporations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Typical Sole Proprietorships<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nCharacteristics of a Sole Proprietorship:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- No start-up capital is required.<\/li>\n
- In a sole proprietorship, the surname of the founder must be included in the company name.<\/li>\n
- A sole proprietorship can have employees. Please note that, among other things, pension fund obligations apply to employees.<\/li>\n
- A sole proprietorship with a turnover of CHF 500,000.00 or more must keep double-entry bookkeeping. Below this, simple bookkeeping is sufficient by law.<\/li>\n
- A sole proprietorship with an expected turnover of less than CHF 100,000.00 does not have to be entered in the commercial register.<\/li>\n
- If you wish to maintain self-employed status, registration with the cantonal compensation office is necessary.<\/li>\n
- In a sole proprietorship, the owner is liable for all debts, including with their private assets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Characteristics of a General Partnership:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Two or more natural persons form a joint company.<\/li>\n
- The general partnership is not a legal entity.<\/li>\n
- Can act under its own name.<\/li>\n
- All partners are jointly and severally liable with their own assets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Typical Corporations<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nLimited Liability Company (LLC)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Founding capital: min. CHF 20,000.00.<\/li>\n
- Can be founded by several persons.<\/li>\n
- In an LLC, everyone is employed, including the founders.<\/li>\n
- Pension fund withdrawal for founding is not possible.<\/li>\n
- Double-entry bookkeeping is mandatory (balance sheet and income statement, in addition to the corresponding appendices).<\/li>\n
- No liability through private assets. Only the company’s assets are liable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Public Limited Company (PLC)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Founding capital: min. CHF 100,000.00, partial payment possible from CHF 50,000.00.<\/li>\n
- In a PLC, everyone, including the founders, is employed.<\/li>\n
- Pension fund withdrawal for founding is not possible.<\/li>\n
- Accounting: Double-entry bookkeeping is mandatory (balance sheet and income statement, in addition to the necessary appendices).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What risks do I bear as a self-employed person?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nAs a self-employed person, you bear the full entrepreneurial risk. This includes, among others, financial, operational, tax, and legal risks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Which insurances are mandatory and which are recommended?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nMandatory contributions generally include AHV\/IV\/EO contributions and accident insurance. Depending on the industry, business liability, daily sickness allowance insurance, and disability insurance are recommended, as well as cyber insurance and legal protection insurance if applicable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Do I have to pay into a pension fund as an entrepreneur?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nWhether you, as an entrepreneur, must pay into a pension fund depends on the legal form of your company and your employment within your own company:<\/p>\n
Sole Proprietorship:<\/strong>
\nAs the owner of a sole proprietorship, you are not obliged to pay into occupational pension provision (pension fund). You are only subject to AHV\/IV\/EO contribution obligations. However, it can be sensible to voluntarily pay into a pension fund to secure your old-age provision.<\/p>\nLLC & PLC:<\/strong>
\nIf you are employed in your own LLC or PLC, you are obliged to join a pension fund, as you are considered an employee. This applies to both management and all other employees of the company.<\/p>\nIt is important to note that the pension fund represents only one part of old-age provision in Switzerland, the so-called 2nd pillar. It is advisable to inform yourself comprehensively about the various pillars of Swiss old-age provision and to make appropriate provisions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Can I withdraw my pension fund upon founding?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nA pension fund withdrawal for your own self-employment is only possible with a sole proprietorship. When founding a PLC or LLC, a withdrawal is not possible. In addition, the cantonal compensation office must certify that you are genuinely self-employed. For this, you will need several independent clients and, for example, your own marketing material. However, be aware that after withdrawing the capital, your insurance benefits will be significantly worse, as the 2nd pillar will be lost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
