Company formation

Start with a clear, professional foundation.

Starting a company in Switzerland does not have to be a maze. We explain every decision in plain words and walk you through every step, in your language.

The basics

What does it take to start a company in Switzerland?

Starting up here has a reputation for being complicated, but it is really a series of ordered decisions: which legal form suits you, where to register, which insurance you need and how you will invoice. Explained in your language, it quickly loses its menace.

The sole proprietorship (Einzelfirma) is the fastest route: no minimum capital and little paperwork. In exchange, you are liable with your personal assets, and entry in the commercial register only becomes mandatory from CHF 100,000 of annual revenue.

The GmbH is a company in its own right: it needs CHF 20,000 in capital and a notary, but it separates your assets from the company's and reads differently to banks, insurers and larger clients.

There is no one-size answer: it depends on your activity, your risk and your plans. Our job is that you make the decision understanding it.

Frequently asked

What we get asked.

Sole proprietorship or GmbH?

A sole proprietorship is quick and cheap to set up, with no minimum capital — but you are liable with your personal assets. A GmbH needs CHF 20,000 in capital and a notary, but limits your liability. The right choice depends on your risk, your activity and your plans; we look at it together on your case.

How long does it take?

A sole proprietorship can be operational in a few days. A GmbH usually takes two to four weeks, between the notary, the capital deposit and the commercial register.

Do I need to speak German?

No. We guide you in English, German or Spanish, and we explain every official document before you sign it.

Are you a fiduciary?

No. MiFirma orients you and coordinates the process. For complex tax matters and special cases we work with fiduciaries and notaries, always identified by their real name.
