The GmbH is a Limited Liability Company. It is mainly used for smaller businesses because the registration costs and the paid up capital requirements are lower than for a Corporation (Swiss AG). The signed capital must be at least 20.000,- CHF, half of which must be paid up during the registration. The signed capital cannot exceed 2.000.000,- CHF. Higher amounts require the registration of a Corporation (Swiss AG).
Swiss laws do not limit the number of foreign owners nor their nationality. However, with a GmbH all owners are filed publicly with their full name and nationality. The registration of a GmbH does require a local director whom WSR can of course provide.
Both, Swiss GmbH and Swiss AG are exempted from all taxation if structured as Holding companies. If regular business activities are conducted the Federal taxes apply with 7,83%. We can also advise for a conception combining a tax exempted Swiss holding and a tax exempted trading company from another jurisdiction. Such combines the reputation of a Swiss company will tax exemption for all business activities.

Nowadays there are two types of company formation agents. One is specialised in his home state, has all information about it, provides customized services but charges high fees and is unflexible if a business would be better located in another state. Others run bulk registration factories in all states, promise same day services, online processing and lowest fees. Often it turns out that registered office, registered agent or maintenance services are not included or only for a limited time. You may end up having a worthless bunch of papers but no company to use. We combine knowledge and professional advice, registration services in all states, customized order processing with low fees, friendly support and fast turnaround. Where others see company formation services as a bulk registration with no support and no individual assistance, we do care about your business needs. That's why we have set up an extensive range of additional products and services for our US corporations. And that's what has made us to one of the major incorporators.
