Request a proposal — or just ask

We respond within one business day (Monday to Friday, Central European Time). Enquiries sent on Friday afternoon or over the weekend are answered on the next business day.

No. The topic dropdown is optional. Select General enquiry or Other and describe what you are trying to do in the message. Even a one-line brief, for example "considering a Zug GmbH for a holding", is enough for us to route the enquiry and prepare a useful scoping call.

Yes. The scoping call is free and non-binding. We use it to understand your situation, confirm whether what you need falls within our scope, and outline the likely next steps. If your case is a fit, we send a written proposal within three to five business days of the call.

Most industries. A short exclusion list applies for regulated or high-risk sectors that require licence-specific experience we do not hold, for example clinical-trial pharma, gambling operators outside the ISA-licensed perimeter, and sanctions-exposed trade. We will tell you at the scoping stage if we cannot act.

Yes. Our office is at Baarerstrasse 14, 6300 Zug, Switzerland. Visits are by prior appointment so that a partner is available. Use the form to propose a date and time, and we will confirm within one business day. Walk-ins are not staffed at reception by default.

Three things are enough to get started: what you want to set up or solve, rough timing, and where you are resident today. Example first messages: "AG for a crypto token issuer, launching in Q3, founder resident in Germany" or "Swiss VAT registration for my German e-shop". Attachments are not required at this stage.

Yes. Enquiries are treated as confidential from the first message. Data is handled under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is stored only for as long as needed to process your request or execute an engagement, and is never shared with third parties outside named infrastructure sub-processors such as Cloudflare and Resend.

You can write in German or French. We will reply in English, and all written client work such as proposals, engagement letters, and memos is delivered in English. If you need a German or French deliverable for a counterparty, tell us at the scoping stage so we can plan translation.

We do not publish a phone number. The fastest route is the form or an email to info@business-in-switzerland.com. We reply within one business day and are happy to schedule a call from there. This keeps our response queue focused on written briefs and filters out nuisance calls.

Both. Typical engagements are for individual founders setting up a Swiss entity, families setting up an office or holding, and foreign companies opening a Swiss subsidiary or branch. The firm is not licensed as a bank, asset manager, or investment advisor, and does not place investments on behalf of clients.
