Your Swiss company. Personal support.

We advise you on the right structure and guide the formation of your limited liability company (GmbH) or company limited by shares (AG) through to commercial-register entry. Established procedures provide the foundation, with specific requirements for the articles of association or ownership arrangements incorporated where needed. We also set up and support the Swiss branch of your foreign company.

Ownership structure, country connections and business model shape the banking options available to your company. We assess suitable approaches with you and prepare the documentation together for appropriate banks or financial service providers. Where relevant, we also consider international solutions and specific formation arrangements. The documentation and our support are tailored to the requirements of the institution concerned.

We provide your company with a registered office in Baar-Zug and handle its business mail. Whether a desk or meeting room is also needed depends on how you operate locally and which functions are performed here. Together, we establish the right infrastructure and adapt it as your Swiss presence develops.

Your company’s legal form, activities and organisation determine how its Swiss representation is structured. We take on the corresponding role as a Swiss-resident managing director, board member or director, either ourselves or through a suitable partner. Together with you, we clarify the local responsibilities, signing authority, decision-making arrangements and ongoing coordination.

We manage your company’s finances from day-to-day bookkeeping through to annual financial statements and the tax return, including payroll, social insurance and VAT returns. How this support is organised depends on your business model, transaction volume and operational structure. Together with you, we agree on the division of work and the reports you need for your business decisions.

We manage ongoing corporate obligations and support changes within your company. Meetings, resolutions and corporate documents are prepared in line with the legal form, articles of association and decisions at hand. We monitor recurring deadlines and handle the necessary commercial-register filings so that documents and register entries accurately reflect your company’s circumstances.

Particularly for FinTech business models and digital assets, the regulatory classification depends on the specific activity and how it is structured. Together with you, we clarify which requirements apply to your plans and what steps follow. These may include membership of a self-regulatory organisation or a FINMA licensing procedure. We coordinate the preparation and support, involving specialist law firms for more detailed legal questions.

The question at hand and the countries involved determine which additional specialists are needed. We bring in suitable tax advisers, law firms or auditors and coordinate their input with the other tasks we handle for your company. This may concern tax in your country of residence, work and residence permits, contracts or trademarks. Your contact at Firmbase remains the same, even when several specialists are involved.
