Switzerland offers several options: a sole proprietorship for individual entrepreneurs, a general partnership for two or more founders, and a limited liability company which separates personal liability from the entity. Each structure has unique setup requirements and governance rules.

Begin by choosing a structure, drafting required documents such as articles of association, and obtaining notarized signatures. Submit your application to the cantonal commercial register, pay associated fees, and await official confirmation. Once registered, you receive an identification number and can start hiring.

Fees include cantonal registration charges, notary costs and administrative expenses. While exact figures vary by canton, most projects require a few thousand francs to complete initial filings and formalities.

From document preparation to official entry in the commercial register, the process typically spans three to four weeks. Delays may occur if additional verification is needed or if statutory requirements are not met promptly.

Key documents include articles of association, proof of identity for each founder, a declaration of the registered address and records of means allocation. Notarization is required before filing with the commercial register.
