Switzerland is a highly attractive business and holding location because of its network of free trade agreements, investment protections, well-developed financial and banking systems, and favourable tax regime.
A Swiss AG (Swiss “Aktiengesellschaft”) is the most popular company structure in the country due to its flexibility and versatility. Advantages include low income and capital gains tax, a safe and stable corporate environment and the strong global reputation of Swiss companies.
Foreigners and non-residents can form a Swiss AG since there are no restrictions regarding the nationality or residency status of the company’s directors.
Swiss AGs are excellent vehicles for the German-speaking market and UK companies that have found the European clearing system challenging post-Brexit.
