The Switzerland Company registered shall have a physical address before submitting the incorporation application. A general virtual office does not meet the requirements. The company should have its own business premises or a legally registered office. If the latter is adopted, the address provider must sign a declaration accepting the registration of the registered office. In the short term, Kaizen could help to provide a business address for the use of incorporation. In the long term, your company still needs to rent a business place. Kaizen could provide an address to use as the registered office for the Switzerland Company for 4,000 CHF and above per annum. |
|

The investors of the Switzerland Company should provide a notarized copy of their identification documents, the Power of Attorney of the parent company, and the identification documents and proof of address of the representative of the parent company for notarization. The relevant documents shall be notarized by a local notary public and certified by the Switzerland consulate in the investor’s location. Kaizen could assist in notarizing the documents in the respective locations, and the fees will be quoted separately.

When the Switzerland Company is officially incorporated, the investors shall open a capital bank account for the purpose of remitting the full amount of the company capital. For any assistance required during the bank account opening, Kaizen will charge 3,000 CHF for the service fee and the director may need to go to the bank in person.
Please note that if the company needs to rent an actual operating address in Switzerland, it may be required to employ a local person as an employee to fulfil the bank’s requirements. Even if the bank does not require the employment of a local employee, it will generally require at least one Switzerland-resident director to act as the local signatory and contact person. The choice of bank depends entirely on the business activities and risk profile. Please note that the final approval of the account opening is always subject to the bank’s decision, and approval cannot be guaranteed in advance. |
