Advice from a Swiss-qualified accountant
Useful answers start with your circumstances.
Your business, where you live, your income and your partners all affect the answers. We focus on the issues that matter most to your launch in Switzerland.
Tax and VAT
Which taxes and contributions should I budget for?
We review the tax implications of your options, VAT and the costs to include in your budget, taking your circumstances into account.
Salary and remuneration
How should I pay myself?
Self-employment income, salary or dividends: understand your options and what they mean for your chosen structure and personal needs.
Social insurance
What cover will I need?
OASI/AHV status, contributions, pensions and insurance: understand what changes when you start your business and which aspects of your cover need attention.
Your personal circumstances
How should I manage the transition?
Starting alongside employment, setting up with partners or living abroad: we discuss the implications and the checks your situation requires.
Next steps
Where should I start?
We help you put the steps in the right order and distinguish the decisions to make now from the issues to explore later.
A discussion shaped around your project. You do not need to have all the answers already. Together, we identify the key questions and use the 30 minutes to address your priorities.

Your questions before we meet.
Who is this business startup consultation for?
Entrepreneurs who want to start a business in Switzerland and receive advice on their own circumstances. You may still be developing your idea, planning a move from employment or choosing between legal structures. You do not need to have registered your business yet.
What can we cover in 30 minutes?
Legal structure, tax, VAT, how you pay yourself, social insurance, business partners and the steps to launch. We relate these topics to your project and prioritise your most important questions. The consultation does not replace a comprehensive tax or legal review; if an issue needs further analysis, we identify it together.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Describe your business and circumstances in the booking form: where you plan to operate, whether you are still employed, whether you have partners and what concerns you. List your priority questions. You can email further information before the appointment.
How much does the consultation cost?
A 30-minute individual consultation costs CHF 89 incl. VAT. Payment is required to confirm your booking. The fee covers the advisory session; it does not include business registration or company formation formalities.
Can we meet remotely or in Geneva?
Consultations are available by phone, video call or in person at our Geneva office. Choose from the formats offered when booking; you will then receive the appointment details.
How does this differ from the free introductory call?
The 30-minute consultation provides advice on your project: we discuss your questions and the implications of your choices. The free 10-minute introductory call gives you an opportunity to briefly explain your project and learn about our services. It does not include this personalised analysis. For an initial conversation, you can book an introductory call.
What if I am already ready to set up my business?
If you have made your decisions and want to start the formalities, you can begin your company formation directly. The consultation is particularly useful if you want to check your direction or understand the implications before taking the next step.
Your project deserves advice that fits.
Take 30 minutes with a Swiss-qualified accountant to clarify your choices and prepare to launch your business in Switzerland.
