Transfer of
companies
Relocation of a company or establishment of a new entity in Switzerland
In business relocation, it is important to assess whether it is preferable to relocate an existing company or to establish a new company from scratch within the Swiss Confederation.
Global competitiveness
Switzerland has always been at the top of world competitiveness rankings. It has long been a winning country in terms of competitiveness, innovation and stability.
Accounting and taxes
Accounting principles in Switzerland are simple and straightforward. Accounts must be kept in an orderly manner to record the transactions and circumstances necessary to present the assets, financial situation and income of an entity.
Swiss law requires that financial statements be prepared annually in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and meet certain key criteria, such as completeness and clarity, as well as minimum content to increase transparency.
Switzerland is very well positioned in terms of corporate taxation, having a profit tax rate very close to the global OECD minimum rate of 15%.
Value Added Tax is also among the lowest in the world, being currently set at 7.7%.
As of 2020, the tax reform has introduced several measures aimed at making Switzerland even more attractive by encouraging the establishment of high value-added activities.
Business-university cooperation in Switzerland
Companies operating in Switzerland enjoy a competitive advantage thanks to the presence of top universities and training schools. Indeed, many companies collaborate closely with such institutions to train highly qualified personnel and develop innovative projects.
