Settlement
Welcome to Switzerland
Politically and economically stable conditions and a high quality of life for the employees make Switzerland an attractive base for foreign companies. Many international companies and corporations therefore have their headquarters in Switzerland and profit from the low taxes, a liberal labor market with highly qualified employees and a solid legal system. Whether you are a start-up or an already established company, we are happy to advise you on the choice of the location and quickly carry out the formalities of a company foundation without great complication.
Corporate settlement
Setting up a company requires dealing with many questions and decisions. Unclear legal situations, missing contacts, insufficient knowledge of the market, small staff capacity and questions regarding the startup investments make an entry to the market challenging at times.
