Your company. Your residence. Your new beginning in Switzerland.

Company formation and organisation

Coordinating the formation of an AG/SA or GmbH/Sagl.

• Introduction to a trusted law and notary firm.
• Coordinating the assessment of the legal form.
• Organising articles of association, deed of incorporation, capital deposit and Commercial Register entry.
• Help finding, where required, a director, managing officer or other representative resident in Switzerland.
• Coordinating the mandate, signing powers and remuneration.
• Introduction to an audit firm, or coordinating the assessment of an audit opt-out where permitted.
• Organising initial documentation and deadlines.

Bank introductions and file preparation

Introductions to selected banks according to your personal profile and company activity.

• Document support for opening personal and corporate relationships.
• Coordinating the capital deposit account.
• Organising information on activity, beneficial owners, tax residence, source of funds and expected operations.
• Support preparing the file required for the KYC process.
• Coordinating meetings and follow-up requests.

Checks, client acceptance and account opening are solely the bank’s decision.

Permits and family relocation

Organisational and document support to identify and follow the applicable route.

• B permit (residence) for those moving to Switzerland; the C permit (settlement) is a later stage with its own requirements.
• G permit (cross-border commuter) for those keeping their home abroad and working in Switzerland: it covers the person working, not the family.
• Family members and family reunification procedures, where applicable.
• Coordination with immigration specialists.
• Organising documents, appointments and municipal formalities.

The route depends on citizenship, activity and personal situation. Forming a company does not guarantee a permit.

Company premises and family home

Defining property needs and introductions to qualified operators.

• Offices, professional spaces and coworking in Ticino.
• Company domiciliation solutions, where compatible with the activity and project.
• Homes to buy or rent in Ticino.
• Homes in the Italian border region.
• In Ticino, introductions to agencies working through licensed real-estate fiduciaries; in Italy, to locally licensed intermediaries.
• Coordinating shortlists, viewings and documentation.

Company domiciliation is assessed against operational, banking and administrative needs.

Accounting, tax and administration

Introduction to a licensed fiduciary accounting firm and coordination of the start of the relationship.

• Organising bookkeeping and company records.
• Year-end closing, financial statements and corporate tax return.
• VAT liability check and, where needed, registration and reporting.
• Payroll, social contributions and withholding tax, where applicable.
• Setting up invoicing tools and a deadline calendar.
• Introductions to advisers on personal and cross-border tax matters.

Bookkeeping is mandatory for AG/SA and GmbH/Sagl; outsourcing it to a fiduciary is an organisational choice. The mandate is sized to actual activity.

Professional website and digital launch

A digital presence consistent with the new business.

• Professional website with responsive design.
• AI technologies for development and content, with human review.
• Structure, pages and languages agreed to your needs.
• Contact forms, domain and professional email as quoted.
• Initial SEO optimisation.
• Setting up the relevant business channels.
• Optional promotional campaigns and lead-capture tools.

The quote defines pages, languages, features, revisions, hosting, maintenance and promotion. Advertising budget and ongoing services are separate.

Personal, family and business insurance

Identifying relevant cover and introductions to professionals authorised or registered under applicable rules.

• Individuals and families: basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG, mandatory for Swiss residents with limited exceptions) and optional supplementary cover.
• Individuals and families: accident cover, life and pension solutions, car, private liability and household contents, as needed.
• Companies and staff: occupational pension and accident insurance, where required by law.
• Companies and staff: optional daily sickness allowance, business or professional liability, cover for assets, vehicles, cyber risks and other needs.

Which cover is mandatory depends on the specific situation. We gather needs, organise the comparison and coordinate specialists; with you and the professional we weigh premiums, deductibles, benefits, exclusions and terms to seek the best balance between protection and cost. RELOCATIONS.WORLD is not an insurer or insurance intermediary.
