About Switzerland

Switzerland stands for stability, discretion and world-class financial services. A Swiss company conveys exceptional prestige and is a preferred home for holding structures, wealth management and high-value international businesses seeking a rock-solid, neutral jurisdiction. Two structures are available: the GmbH, the practical choice for most founders, and the AG, which requires a larger capital commitment but is favored for its stronger investor image and easier share transfers. Corporate tax is layered across federal, cantonal and communal governments on the same taxable income, so the canton you register in matters as much as the entity form — some cantons run meaningfully lower combined rates than others, with ten cantons currently under 14%. Holding companies benefit from a participation exemption that shields qualifying dividend and capital-gain income from cantonal tax.
