Gesellschaftsstruktur
Die Schweizer GmbH erklärt
Die Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH) ist das beliebteste Fahrzeug für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen in der Schweiz. Sie bietet die Glaubwürdigkeit einer vollständigen Rechtspersönlichkeit mit überschaubaren Kapitalanforderungen und unkomplizierter Unternehmensführung.
Das Mindestkapital beträgt CHF 20'000 — vollständig bei der Gründung einzubezahlen und nach der Eintragung an Ihre Gesellschaft freigegeben. Die Haftung der Gesellschafter ist streng auf ihren Kapitalanteil beschränkt und schützt das Privatvermögen vollständig.
Der Kanton Zug bietet einen entscheidenden Vorteil: einen effektiven Unternehmenssteuersatz von rund 11,9% — einer der niedrigsten in der Schweiz und der OECD.

Häufige Fragen
Häufig gestellte Fragen
No. The entire process is 100% remote. You sign your incorporation documents at home and return them digitally. No travel to Switzerland is required at any stage — not for notarisation, not for the bank, not for the register. Most clients complete the full formation without ever visiting Switzerland.
The CHF 20,000 share capital is an asset of your company — not a cost. It is deposited into a blocked capital account during incorporation and released to your company’s operating account once the commercial register publishes your company. You can then use it for business expenses, salaries, equipment or operations. The money belongs to your company.
Yes. Non-Swiss residents can own 100% of a Swiss GmbH. However, Swiss law requires at least one managing director with Swiss residency and individual signing authority. Our Swiss Director service (CHF 250/month or CHF 3,000/year) satisfies this requirement — you retain full ownership and control.
The effective combined corporate tax rate in Zug Canton is approximately 11.9% — federal (8.5%) plus cantonal and municipal. This is one of the lowest rates in Switzerland and among the most competitive in the OECD. For comparison, Zurich is ~21.1% and Geneva is ~13.99%.
A Swiss GmbH must: file annual tax returns with the Zug cantonal tax authority, hold at least one general meeting per year, maintain proper accounts (Swiss GAAP or simplified for small companies), renew the commercial register entry annually, and comply with AML obligations via your domiciliary agent. We offer full accounting support from CHF 350/month.
Through our exclusive partnership with UBS and Baloise, notary fees for Swiss GmbH or AG formation are fully covered when you select the offer during incorporation. You pay only the CHF 149 VOZ setup fee. Standard notary fees are CHF 800–2,500 — a saving of up to CHF 3,500.
Approximately 3 weeks from start to finish: Day 1 — VOZ setup and dashboard access. Days 1–2 — notary contacts you. Days 2–3 — capital deposit account opened. Days 3–7 — capital deposited, articles signed. Days 7–10 — bank issues capital certificate. Days 10–12 — notary submits to register. Week 3 — company published on ZEFIX, capital released.
Yes. A GmbH requires CHF 20,000 minimum capital and is ideal for solo founders, SMEs and holding structures. An AG requires CHF 100,000 capital (minimum CHF 50,000 deposit at incorporation), has a board of directors, keeps shareholders private, and is preferred for VC-funded companies. Both can be formed 100% remotely with CHF 0 notary fees.
Kundenstimmen

GmbH oder AG in der Schweiz — 100% fernabgewickelt.
★★★★★
I incorporated my GmbH in 3 weeks from Paris. Everything was done by email. The Zug address immediately boosted credibility with my Swiss clients. The CHF 0 notary fee was the thing that tipped me — I had been quoted CHF 1,800 by a Zurich firm.
J.B.Paris — GmbH founder
★★★★★
The UBS offer worked exactly as described. Zero notary fees. My holding AG is registered in Baar. Everything managed remotely from Singapore — the notary emailed me within 24 hours of my submission.
R.T.Singapore — AG holding
★★★★★
Clear process, timeline respected, UBS account opening facilitated. I recommend VOZ to any non-resident entrepreneur wanting a Swiss presence. From Dubai to Zug in three weeks, zero trips required.

He refreshed ZEFIX every morning for 10 days. On day 11, his company was there.
Julien had spent six months trying to decide whether to incorporate in France, Estonia, or Switzerland. Every time he compared, Switzerland won — but it seemed complicated.
He paid the CHF 149 on a Monday morning. By Tuesday afternoon, the notary had already sent him the first documents. He signed from his Paris apartment on his couch.
Ten days later, he searched his company name on ZEFIX. It was there. He sent the link to his biggest client before calling his parents.

“I expected bureaucracy. I got a dashboard, a notary who emailed me within 24 hours, and a company in three weeks. Switzerland surprised me.”

His investor said ‘Swiss AG or no deal.’ He had the entity before the term sheet expired.
Raymond had been in term sheet negotiations for three months. His Swiss co-investor was clear: a Swiss AG was required. Not a Singapore holding. Not a BVI. He had two weeks.
CHF 149 setup fee on Monday. Notary contacted him Tuesday. He transferred CHF 100,000 to the capital deposit account by Thursday — his bank in Singapore executed the wire in two hours.
His AG appeared on ZEFIX on day 18. His investor wired the first tranche the following week.

“Two weeks to a Swiss AG seemed impossible. It was not. The UBS account was free. The notary fees were zero. I paid CHF 149 and CHF 100,000 share capital. That was it.”

She wanted a Swiss company for five years. She always assumed it was too complicated. It took three weeks.
Yasmine had been running her consulting practice from Dubai for five years. Every year, she told herself she would look into a Swiss company. Every year, she assumed it would require lawyers, trips to Switzerland, and months of bureaucracy.
A founder friend sent her the VOZ link on a Tuesday. She paid CHF 149 that evening. Three weeks later, she had a Swiss GmbH in Zug. Zero notary fees. Zero trips. Zero Swiss lawyers.
Her first invoice with the Swiss address was paid in 14 days by a European client who had previously taken 60 days.
