Commercial Register (CHRB)
Your address appears in the public commercial register (Handelsregister), visible to any person searching ZEFIX. This is the primary reference for your company's legal identity in Switzerland.
Official Correspondence
All correspondence from Swiss courts, cantonal authorities, the Steuerverwaltung, and FINMA is addressed to your registered address. Missing critical correspondence can have serious legal consequences.
Tax Domicile — Canton Zug
Your Zug address makes your company tax-resident in Switzerland's lowest-tax canton (~11.9% effective rate). This determines which cantonal tax authority has jurisdiction.
Bank Account Opening
Swiss banks require a commercial register extract showing a Swiss address before opening a corporate account. Without a valid address, corporate banking in Switzerland is impossible.
VAT / MWST Registration
Swiss VAT registration with the ESTV requires a verifiable Swiss business address. Our address is accepted for VAT registration purposes without additional documentation.
Treaty Benefits (96 Treaties)
A genuine Swiss registered address is a prerequisite for claiming benefits under Switzerland's 96 double taxation treaties. A foreign address cannot support a Swiss treaty residency claim.
“Every legal entity registered in the commercial register must maintain a domicile address in Switzerland. This address must be a physical location at which the company can effectively be reached.”

Learn about Holding →“I needed a Swiss address before my notary could file the GmbH incorporation papers. I had been told by two providers it would take 5–7 days. VOZ had the domiciliation agreement in my inbox within hours. The notary accepted it immediately — no questions, no additional documents. We filed that same week.”
“UBS asked for our Swiss address as the first step in the account opening. I had tried with two other banks before — both asked for documents I couldn’t provide with my previous setup. The VOZ domiciliation certificate was accepted on the first submission. Account opened three weeks later. The address paid for itself on day one.”
“I moved my company from Zurich to Zug specifically for the tax rate. The saving is CHF 11,000 per year at my current profit level. I had been in Zurich for three years without realising what it was costing me. VOZ handled everything — the documentation, the register update, the new domiciliation agreement. The payback on the migration cost was four months.”
