Your plan, broken down.

Every plan to do business in Switzerland comes down to five questions. Each one gets answered, in the order that makes sense. Where a question needs a specialist, the specialist is brought in, and you keep one contact.

How it works

1. First conversation

You describe your plans. The case is then assessed: what it requires and which authorities are involved.

2. Clear scope

Before any work starts, you know what is included and how it is billed. Anything beyond that scope is discussed and agreed in writing first.

3. Execution

Authorities, landlords and paperwork are dealt with for you. So, when a case needs a specialist, that person is brought in and you keep one contact throughout.

Why one contact

How much does it help you to fill out forms in a language you cannot verify, to call authorities during the same working hours you need for your own business, and to figure out which document to sign and why?

It does not help a lot. But it is required. This is where this practice comes in.

You say what you want. The authorities say what they need. The middle ground gets negotiated, and you hear about it in clear and transparent words.

Nobody knows every rule in every canton. So, when a case needs a specialist, I bring that person in and stay your single point of contact.
