One contact for doing business in Switzerland
This practice handles permits, licences, premises and taxes for people who move here, open a location or already run a business in Switzerland.
Describe your caseor check your case firstWherever your case is
The practice is based in Zug and works in all parts of Switzerland. Viewings and meetings with authorities or landlords take place on site.
The work is done in German, French, Italian and English. Swiss German is spoken as well.
Who this is for
One contact instead of eight
Opening a business here means forms in a language you may not read, calls to offices during your own working hours and documents you are asked to sign without an explanation.
This practice takes over that part.
Opening a restaurant from abroad, for example.
You decide what you want to achieve.
The requirements of the authorities are clarified and negotiated here and you are informed about every result.
How your plan is structured
A plan to do business in Switzerland touches five areas. They are dealt with in the order your case requires. Where an area needs a specialist, one is brought in and you still deal with one contact.
