Start Yours in Switzerland And/Or EU

When setting up a company, it is important to choose the right legal form. In Switzerland, Or EU Countries there are eight different configurations, each one meeting specific needs.

Partnerships and corporations: two main types of companies.

There are many types of companies:
Partnerships (sole proprietorships, limited partnerships, and general partnerships) – And capital-based incorporated companies (stock corporations and limited liability companies (LLC)).

These two types are distinguished by the level of risk involved.

If a person wants to bear the responsibility for the debts with their private assets, they should choose a partnership. In this case, the partners are personally responsible for the debts of the company.

In return for this high level of individual liability, the formalities for setting up a partnership and the rules for managing it are less strict and complex than those for a corporation.

For the latter, only their assets constitute the pledge of creditors, which limits the personal liability of the partners because only their contribution to the business is involved. In other words, the partners are not unlimitedly responsible for the debts of the company and therefore do not run the risk of losing their assets in case of financial difficulties for the company.

Criteria to consider when choosing a suitable legal form, there are several options for creating a company:

*Forming an unincorporated or incorporated company;
*Setting up a branch office;
*Acquiring an existing company in Switzerland (either unincorporated or incorporated);
*Forming of a joint venture (unincorporated or incorporated company);
*Forming a strategic alliance with or without an equity interest.

“The choice between the above-mentioned configurations depends on the company’s objectives.“

To make an informed decision, it is important to consider various factors:

–Capital: the amount of investment and equity needed must be analyzed. Does the company need a lot of capital to start and grow, or can it operate with limited funds? To determine these different amounts, it is agreed to take into account the capital needs for the current year as well as for the next three to five years;
–Risk and liability: It is important to consider the level of liability and risk that partners are willing to take on. For example, are they willing to be liable for the company’s debts on an unlimited basis, or do they prefer to limit their liability?

Note that greater responsibility often comes with greater freedom of action.
Independence: the legal form of the company can limit the options for action. Anyone starting a business must decide whether they want to work alone or with partners, and whether they prefer purely financial investors or active partners.

–Taxation: depending on the legal form, the income and assets of the business and the owner are subject to different taxation rules. In general, large profits are taxed at a lower rate in corporations than in partnerships or sole proprietorship.
