Doing business in Switzerland? 3 things smart leaders pay attention to!
Switzerland is stable, efficient, and full of opportunity and it’s also a country where small legal and structural missteps can cost you big.
Before making your next move, think about this:
– Have you chosen the right 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, or just the most familiar one?
– Do you know what really triggers a 𝘁𝗮𝘅 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 in your setup?
– Are your 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 adapted to Swiss legal culture, or copied from abroad?
Here are 3 quick tips many wish they knew earlier:
Don’t default to a GmbH/Sàrl without a strategy and a bit off strategicthinking. It’s not just about the size of the business, it’s about liability, succession, and flexibility.
Review cross-border contracts for Swiss enforceability. Swiss courts won’t interpret “intentions” the way your original jurisdiction might.
Use 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 to your advantage.
In a multilingual country, how something is written matters, especially when working across cantons or with international teams.
Switzerland rewards precision, structure, and 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. Build with those, and you’ll build with confidence and integrity.
