Subsidiary

Are you looking to establish a Subsidiary in Switzerland?

The creation of a subsidiary is like the establishment of any other company under Swiss law. It requires capital, registration in the Companies Registry and the signing of an incorporation deed before a notary. Unlike a branch office, a subsidiary is completely separate from the parent company that holds all or nearly all of the subsidiary’s stock.

Our legal, accounting and tax experts will guide you through the process of creating your Swiss subsidiary.

What advantages does a subsidiary have?

• Same benefits as other Swiss companies: the subsidiary will have bank accounts and postal current accounts.
• Easy invoicing: the billing between the parent company and its subsidiary is highly adaptable.
• Tax: the subsidiary is taxed in Switzerland and files its own tax returns.
• Reputation: the subsidiary represents the parent company in Switzerland.

What steps are involved?

Our goal is to create your Subsidiary within 15 days. You can concentrate on the business while Amedia Fiduciary takes care of the rest.

• Studies and analysis of your venture by telephone, Skype or at our offices.
• Verification of the availability of your company’s name at the Companies Registry Office. A Subsidiary must be registered in the Companies Registry at the place of the registered office.
• Opening of an account for depositing the share capital (min. CHF 50,000) pending filing with the Companies Registry. A deposit declaration will be provided to you once the sums have been paid in. We only need proof of identification for this step.
• You will need to visit a notary for signing the original incorporation deed. This deed will contain the articles of association and appoint the governing bodies. The notary will take responsibility for the statutory steps and obligation for public disclosure.
• Opening of the company’s bank account and release of the capital once received from the Companies Registry Office. The Société Anonyme, SA (Public Limited Company) then has its own funds and the deposit account is closed.
• Establishment of your accounting plan, we will assist you in complying with Swiss regulations and any other of your needs.
