Frequently Asked Questions About Setting Up and Managing a Swiss Company

This page answers the most common questions about setting up and managing a Swiss company for international business activities.
It explains when a Swiss structure may be appropriate, what is typically required, and which support services are often needed for proper setup and ongoing operations.

Can a company be established in Switzerland without living there?

In many cases, yes.
However, the company structure and actual management must comply with the relevant registration, corporate governance, compliance, and banking requirements.

Do you only handle company formation?

No.
We also support the ongoing operation of the company and can provide administrative services, bookkeeping, banking support, registered address services, and ongoing support for the Swiss structure when needed.

When is a Swiss resident director required?

This depends on the company type and the applicable legal requirements.
In relevant cases, a qualified local individual with appropriate authority and responsibilities is required.

Do you assist with opening a bank account?

Yes.
We assist with preparation, organization of documents and information, and communication with relevant parties. The final decision to open the account is always at the bank’s discretion and subject to its compliance procedures.

Does every international business activity require a Swiss company?

No.
A Swiss company is mainly appropriate when there is a genuine business, operational, banking, or structural justification.

What is the difference between formally registering a company and having a real Swiss operational structure?

Company registration is only the setup phase.
A genuine Swiss structure may also require local infrastructure, proper management, documentation, bookkeeping, administrative support, and in some cases local officers.

Do you work with clients from Israel as well?

Yes.
We work with international clients, including clients from Israel who require a professional Swiss structure for cross-border activities.

Do you provide legal or tax advice?

We support the operational, structural, and management aspects of Swiss business operations.
Where legal or tax advice is required, it is important to work with qualified professionals relevant to the specific case.
