Changing your business purpose: frequently asked questions
Why might I need to change my company’s business purpose?
You may need to amend your company’s business purpose to broaden or narrow its activities, pursue new opportunities or reflect changes in your market.
An up-to-date purpose helps align your registered details with your business plans.
What are the steps to change my company’s business purpose?
Changing your company’s business purpose requires an amendment to its articles of association, formalised by a notary.
The amended articles and supporting documents must then be submitted to the Commercial Register to register the change.
How long does a business purpose change take?
The process generally takes a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the amendment and administrative processing times.
At Entreprendre.ch, we help you keep the process clear and moving forward.
How much does a business purpose change cost?

Is a notary required to change my company’s business purpose?
Yes. Changing an LLC or limited company’s business purpose requires a notary because it involves amending the articles of association. The notary checks the amendment and records it in a public deed.
What happens if my activities change but I do not update the business purpose?
If your company carries out activities that are not covered by the purpose in its articles of association, legal or administrative questions may arise. Your business purpose should adequately describe your activities and the developments you reasonably expect.
