Facilitating Swiss residency when establishing a business contributing to Swiss economic growth
Switzerland’s welcoming business environment attracts entrepreneurs and investors seeking both economic growth and residency. Renowned for its business-friendly atmosphere, Switzerland simplifies company registration and operation, appealing to forward-thinking individuals. Permit issuance considers factors such as the business plan, financial viability, and contribution to the local economy, with job creation and investment levels being pivotal. This collaborative approach fosters economic growth and innovation while providing a legitimate pathway for residency.
Switzerland, known for its economic stability and healthy environment, is sought after by those seeking residency through entrepreneurship. Establishing a company in Switzerland offers a strategic path to residency. The government’s openness to foreign investment and business development provides entrepreneurs with a clear route to residency and contributes to economic growth.
Both EU/EFTA and non-EU/EFTA citizens can establish Swiss enterprises, work, and reside in Switzerland. Any foreign individual can initiate a business potentially creating job opportunities for Swiss citizens. The enterprise proprietor qualifies for a Swiss residence permit, given they hold a senior position within the company.
Non-EU/EFTA nationals face stricter due diligence compared to EU/EFTA nationals, requiring their business proposals to demonstrate greater potential for success.
The process involves several key steps
The process of obtaining Swiss residency through company establishment involves several key steps.
1
Create a legal entity
Entrepreneurs first need to create a legal entity, such as a Limited Liability Company (GmbH) or Joint Stock Company (AG), adhering to Swiss business laws. This entity forms the basis for business operations contributing to the Swiss economy.
2
Explore residency options
Once established, entrepreneurs explore residency options, such as the L Permit for short-term stays and the B Permit for long-term residence.
3
Select canton, legal Form, and bank account
Opening a company in Switzerland requires selecting a suitable canton, legal form, and often a Swiss bank account. Expert support is invaluable not only for navigating the intricacies of company establishment but also for ensuring compliance with Swiss regulations and maximizing the potential for success in the Swiss business landscape.
4
Consider purchasing or investing in existing companies
Alternatively, EU and non-EU/EFTA applicants may purchase an already existing Swiss company or invest in existing Swiss companies to facilitate expansion and job creation, contributing to economic growth.
5
Understand bank account requirements and tax rates
The necessity of a Swiss bank account depends on the legal form, and is mandatory for stock corporations and limited liability companies. Tax rates vary by canton, impacting the choice of domicile.
