One contact for doing business in Switzerland.
Moving here, opening a location or already running one: permits, licences, premises, taxes and authorities are handled here, in four languages and in every region of the country.
Describe your caseor check your case firstWherever your case is.
The practice is based in Zug and active across Switzerland. Viewings and meetings with authorities and landlords happen where your case is, whether that is Zürich, Basel, Lausanne or Lugano.
The work is done in German, French, Italian and English, including Swiss German. Romandie and Ticino are covered as well.
Who this is for
One contact instead of eight.
Forms in a language you cannot verify? Calls to authorities during your own working hours? Documents you sign without knowing why?
It helps very little, yet it is required. This is where this practice comes in.
Opening a restaurant from abroad, for example.
You say what you want. The authorities say what they need.
The middle ground gets negotiated and you hear about it in plain words.
Your plan, broken down.
Every plan to do business in Switzerland comes down to five dimensions. Each one is worked through in the order the case requires. Where a dimension needs a specialist, one is brought in while you keep one contact.

You describe your case. The case is then assessed on what is required and which authorities are involved.
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.
Getting it done
Authorities, third parties and paperwork are dealt with for you.
