What is the best legal structure for my Swiss startup?

The choice of legal structure depends on your business goals, tax considerations, and liability preferences. The most common forms are the GmbH (limited liability company) and AG (joint-stock company). We help you select the best structure and handle all registration procedures.

How do I ensure compliance with Swiss labor laws?

Swiss labor law includes strict provisions on employment contracts, working hours, holidays, and termination. We provide legally compliant templates, draft custom employment agreements, and advise you on HR practices to reduce the risk of disputes or fines.
