Why start a Swiss sole proprietorship?

Starting a sole proprietorship is the easiest and fastest way to start your own business in Switzerland. Whether you are a tradesman, consultant, architect, doctor, lawyer or merchant: a sole proprietorship offers you the flexibility and freedom to achieve your professional goals.

Your benefits

  • No start-up capital required: unlike corporations, a sole proprietorship requires no minimum capital.
  • Low administrative effort: the formal requirements are minimal. An entry in the commercial register is only necessary from an annual turnover of CHF 100,000.
  • Complete independence: you enjoy complete freedom of decision without interference from shareholders or investors.
  • No double taxation: as the owner of a sole proprietorship, your profit is taxed only once, as part of your personal income – unlike corporations, where economic double taxation applies.
We want to give you a smooth start so that you can fully concentrate on your business idea.
