Who helps me with company formation in Switzerland?
Startups.ch supports founders with company formation in Switzerland – from choosing the legal form to the documents and notarial processing up to the commercial register entry.

How much capital do I need for a GmbH?
To establish a GmbH in Switzerland, you need at least CHF 20,000 as share capital. This amount must be fully paid in or contributed at the time of incorporation.
How much capital do I need for a public limited company (AG)?
The share capital of a Swiss AG is at least CHF 100,000. At the time of creation, at least CHF 50,000 or 20% of the share capital must be paid in.
How much does it cost to register a company in Switzerland?
The costs depend on the legal form and services. In addition, commercial register and notary fees may apply. At Startups.ch you can configure your incorporation online.

When is a GmbH in Switzerland sensible?

For many founders, the legal form is not a formal issue but an early set-up decision. At Startups.ch we repeatedly see that the real question is not *which form is more modern*, but: How much risk, effort and trust capital does the business model bring with it? This often determines whether a GmbH or a sole proprietorship fits better.
