Le défi des non-résidents

Le droit suisse exige un directeur résident

Art. 718 CO (Swiss Code of Obligations): At least one member of the board of directors of a Swiss AG, or one manager of a GmbH, who is authorised to represent the company, must be domiciled in Switzerland.

This single requirement blocks thousands of international entrepreneurs every year. You have the capital, the business plan, and the motivation — but you cannot satisfy a rule that requires physical residence in a country where you do not live.

VOZ provides a qualified Swiss-resident director based in Zug who satisfies this legal requirement on your behalf, with clear governance agreements that protect your interests and maintain your control of the company.

A recent utility bill or bank statement less than 3 months old, confirming your residential address. Any country, any language — we handle translation if needed.

Comment créer une société suisse depuis l’étranger

From your first click to the commercial register entry — 3 to 4 weeks, 100% remote.

1

Order Your VOZ Address

Complete KYC Online

Upload your identity documents through our secure portal. Passport, proof of address, source of funds declaration. Our AMLA-compliant verification is fully remote — no in-person appointment, no courier.

Notarisation via Swiss Consulate

Commercial Register Entry

Upon notarisation, your company is submitted to the Zug Handelsregister. 5-10 business days later, you receive the official ZEFIX extract by email. Your Swiss company is operational.

Il a signé les documents au consulat suisse pendant sa pause déjeuner.

Khalid had been trying to open a Swiss company for 8 months. Three different providers. Three different excuses about why it was complicated.

With VOZ, he uploaded his passport on a Tuesday. Thursday, his Zug address was live. Two weeks later, he had a 30-minute appointment at the Swiss consulate in Dubai. He signed the incorporation papers over his lunch break.

His Swiss AG was in the commercial register before the end of the month.

Eight months of frustration ended in three weeks. The consulate appointment was the hardest part — and it took half an hour. — K.A., Director · Dubai · AG, Zug

Elle avait besoin d’une adresse suisse pour son fonds. Ses investisseurs en avaient besoin avant vendredi.

Mei had a term sheet with a closing deadline. Her US investor required a Swiss-registered entity before wiring funds.

It was Monday morning in Singapore. She found VOZ, set up her address by Tuesday, completed KYC Wednesday. Her Swiss director was appointed. She sent her investor the commercial register entry on Friday afternoon.

The wire cleared the following week.

I genuinely thought it would take months. VOZ made it happen in a week. — M.L., Fund Manager · Singapore · AG, Zug

L’adresse suisse qui a ouvert toutes les portes en Europe.

Ricardo was building a B2B SaaS from Brazil. European enterprise clients kept asking where his company was registered. A Brazilian address was losing him deals.

He set up a Swiss GmbH in Zug. The next enterprise proposal he sent had a Swiss address. The procurement team did not ask a single question. The contract was signed within three weeks.

His close rate on European enterprise went from 20% to 60%.

My close rate on European enterprise went from 20% to 60% after the Swiss address. That is not an exaggeration. — R.C., SaaS Founder · Brazil · GmbH, Zug

Yes. Non-residents can own 100% of a Swiss GmbH or AG. Swiss law places no restrictions on foreign ownership. The only requirement is that at least one director or manager must be resident in Switzerland with signing authority. Our Swiss Director service satisfies this requirement — you remain the sole owner and in full control.
No. As a non-resident director or shareholder, you do not need a Swiss work permit. The Swiss-resident director requirement applies to the local director (which VOZ provides) — not to you as the owner. You can own and manage your company from anywhere in the world without any Swiss immigration requirement.
You can replace the VOZ director at any time with another Swiss-resident individual — a family member, a business partner, or a professional director of your choice. The process requires a board resolution, a new director appointment, and a commercial register update (5–10 days). There are no penalties for changing directors. If you obtain Swiss residency yourself, you can become the sole director.
No. There is no minimum stay requirement for non-resident owners of Swiss companies. You can own and operate your Swiss company 100% remotely and never visit Switzerland. All official correspondence is handled digitally through your VOZ dashboard.
The incorporation deed is prepared by a Swiss-affiliated notary. You sign it at a Swiss embassy or consulate in your country, or via apostille through a local notary. In practice, most clients sign at their nearest Swiss consulate — the appointment takes under 30 minutes. We guide you through the exact process for your country of residence.
Your registered Zug address is active within 48 hours. KYC verification takes 2–3 business days. Notarisation depends on your local Swiss consulate availability — typically 1–2 weeks. Commercial register entry takes 5–10 business days after notarisation. Total process: 3–4 weeks from start to finish.
You need: a notarised or apostilled copy of your current passport, a recent proof of address (utility bill or bank statement, less than 3 months old), and a source of funds declaration for the share capital. All submission is digital through our secure portal.
Yes. A Swiss-registered company with a Zug address and a Swiss-resident director is eligible for corporate banking at UBS, Valiant, and other Swiss banks. Through our UBS partnership, we provide guided account opening support. Having a Swiss director significantly improves your approval odds compared to a company with no Swiss-resident management.
