You are an entrepreneur and you want to settle down in Switzerland? You also want to benefit from the prospering economic climate? Swiss-Entry offers you a broad service package for your plans.

You have to consider several factors if you want to form your company in Switzerland successfully:

Residence permit

The receipt of a residence permit will adjudicate upon the success of your plans. You will receive a residence permit for yourself and your family if you are able to meet a few simple conditions.

The Swiss cantons endue over a certain annual quote of residence permits. You will receive one of them if you will favour the local economic development positively. In this perspective the creation of new jobs plays an important role.

The conditions for the receipt of a residence permit for independent persons and SME look as follows:

Formation of a company

You have to be employed by your own company. You can take both functions, owner and director. Your company has to show real activities. At this point it is important to mention that it is impossible to settle down as «John Miller – consultant ». It is mandatory that you form a company.

Creation of at least one job

The most important condition of the Swiss authorities is that you create at least one new job. In practice you have to create at least one full-time job for one Swiss person.

Sufficient annual profit

Your annual salary has to be approximately the same as the salary of a manager in a comparable position. Your company has to be in the position to pay for all operation expenses and for all salaries. The contribution margin before salary and taxes should not be under 200.000 Swiss Francs. Therewith you can pay the salary of your employees.

There are several possibilities to meet the conditions explained above.

Your settlement can be handled quickly and comfortably. Swiss-Entry offers you the execution of the whole procedure until the definitive settlement in Switzerland. Do not hesitate to contact us. We will respond to your inquiry immediately.

1. Geographic and strategic position of Switzerland

Switzerland is located in the heart of Europe and therefore has access to a very important geographic and strategic position. At all times the country has been a meeting point for cultures and languages. As a shelter for liberal economic and national attitudes, Switzerland lies in the middle of the European technology axis. The country is Europe’s strategical traffic turntable, surrounded by the Alps and the Jura Mountains. All important cities of the continent can be reached easily and effortlessly. Even the distance between Asia and America is cut in half. Therefore the country is the ideal open-minded location for lucrative international business contacts.

2. Economy

The high powerful output of the Swiss economy and its tight integration with foreign national economics assure that the country enjoys the second highest prosperity per head worldwide. Technologically outstanding, specialised and internationally experienced small and medium-sized businesses out of all industrial sectors as well as worldwide operating banks and insurance companies form global standards.
The solid buying power and in the long run low costs of capital are the best guarantors for prosperity and high competitive ability.

3. Business and investment climate in Switzerland

Switzerland’s business climate is favouring the allocation of high-class service, research and production activities. The ranking of internationally acknowledged institutions regularly rate the country on top positions. Several reasons speak for this fact: a stable legal security, in the long run stable decision bases for investors, a constantly decreasing regulation density, guaranteed protection of free competition and possessions as well as the guarantee of the banking confidentiality. These important conditions make Switzerland throughout Europe a privileged business location.

4. Infrastructure

International ratings approve: The Swiss infrastructure is one of the world most developed and most reliable. Modern IT-infrastructures provide the best requirements for high technologies. The liberalisation of markets increases in individual supply areas the infrastructure’s offer-diversity, and therefore the country’s attractiveness as working and living location.

5. Switzerland and Europe

Switzerland enjoys an excellent relationship with Europe. Thanks to the bilateral agreement with the European Union and thanks to the traditionally close business relationships, the country is continuously able to expand its position in Europe as an excellent business location and as an important financial location. As the third biggest supplier of goods, the second biggest customer of the European Union and with about a half of the Swiss direct investments, Switzerland is one of the most important business partners of the European Union.

6. Formation and direction of a company

The formations of companies in Switzerland have always been attractive thanks to a liberal business environment. To add is a selection of several legal forms of companies. The freedom of commerce anchored in the Swiss Federal Constitution, paired with the low regulation density, provide ideal requirements for foreigners to form permanent business activities

7. Financing

The internationally famous financial location in Switzerland is highly developed. With its high prestige as a bank and exchange location, the country provides an excellent opportunity for a competitive financing of international activities and entrepreneurial investment projects. All business dealings, which accrue inside or outside the country, will be handled from Swiss banks as well as foreign banks with the latest technologies.

8. Production costs

The production costs in Switzerland are in the international location competition an important competitive advantage. The country is an interest-island, which allows an especially cost-saving financing. Thanks to comparatively low non-wage labour costs and high work ethics, the labour costs in Switzerland are altogether less depressed than in other competing business locations.

9. Taxation

The tax charge in Switzerland is in an European environment especially moderate and sticks constantly to a low level. There are several interesting fiscal opportunities, which arrange, due to the federal composition, enough free space for a healthy competition among the Swiss cantons. The preferred position is expressed in direct taxes. As basic principle the self declaration through the tax payers is applied.

10. Human capital

The human capital is one of the most important success factors in Switzerland. Regarding the labour productivity, Switzerland is taking in comparison with all national economies of the world the fourth rank. The Swiss labour market is stamped through a liberal labour legislation, a low regulation density and an extraordinary high social stability, which is cemented by the well-rehearsed relationships among the social partners. Also the social security of employees is based upon the basic principle of solidarity and self-responsibility.

11. Education, research and development

The high education standards of Swiss labour forces are a very important location factor for the country, because it doesn’t have many other resources. The unique dual education system secures first-class labour forces, and the federal constitution of the education system secures high quality and closeness to the economical practice. The universities, after degree-certificates and international schools enjoy a very well reputation all over the world. As a powerful location for research and development, Switzerland is one of the most important exporters of technology worldwide.

12. Living quality and business environment

The high living quality and the competitive business environment in Switzerland are stamped by prosperity. The economically priced offerings for flats and houses embrace highest quality demands. The personal security is warranted at any time and the public health system is fully developed. Therefore Switzerland is highly appreciated as domicile for companies, its managers and employees as well as for their relatives

13. Promotion through authorities and contact points

The Swiss business development focuses on the intensive care of a profitable business environment. Furthermore the Swiss government offers investors several attractive grants for settlements and expansion intentions. Thereby the location promotion takes place in close partnership with the economy and the Swiss cantons. Their especially market-orientated organisations and decision-makers efficiently apply their multifunctional development instruments following the customer’s needs.
