A Sole Proprietorship is owned by a single person resident in Switzerland who trades under their own name. The surname of the owner must appear in the name of a Swiss sole trader though it may be accompanied by additions.
This business structure is well suited to self-employed people. The owner receives all profits from the business but is also personally liable for all losses. It is however possible at any time to convert Sole Proprietorship into a SA or a Sàrl.
Our experts, specialists in Swiss law, accountancy, and tax, will assist you through the entire process of creating your Swiss company.
What are the advantages to setting up a sole trader business in Switzerland?
- Setting up is quick and easy.
- No minimum capital requirement.
- Tax: profits are not taxed twice.
