Five common questions about founding a company online

How long does it take to set up a Swiss company online?
What documents do I need to set up an online company?
Can I set up a company online as a non-Swiss citizen?
Is it safe to set up a Swiss company online?
How do I choose the appropriate legal form?

The choice of legal form depends on the purpose of your company and the planned activity. The three most popular legal forms in Switzerland for newly founded companies are the sole proprietorship, the LLC (limited liability company) and the JSC (stock corporation).

  • A sole proprietorship is ideal if you work alone and do not need a large start-up capital.
  • The LLC is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, as liability is limited to business assets and several people may be involved.
  • The JSC is particularly suitable for larger, profit-oriented companies. If you are unsure, you are welcome to get free advice from us.
