Company name: Registering a suffix like “Ltd” in Switzerland

In order to register a limited liability company (Swiss LLC) or a corporation, it is necessary that the company name indicates the legal form (“GmbH” for Swiss LLC or “AG” for Swiss corporation). However, it is also allowed to register the business name with the suffix “Ltd”, but therefore, both company names have to be registered (e.g.: RealEstate33 GmbH [RealEstate33 Ltd]). The problem is that by registering only the company name with the suffix “Ltd” people would think that the company is incorporated in the UK or another country, where the suffix “Ltd” is obligatory or common.
