Initial capital deposit on incorporation of an AG or GmbH: Is it necessary for the deposit to take place in Swiss Francs or is it also possible to use other currencies?

The initial capital of a GmbH (Swiss form of a limited liability company) or a AG (Aktiengesellschaft, Swiss form of a corporation), must not necessarily be deposited in Swiss Francs. Rather, it is possible to use euros or other currencies as well.

Important:

1. The share capital must be deposited in a Swiss bank (blocked account for company foundation).

2. The equivalent of the foreign currency in Swiss Francs must be at least as high as the minimal legally required capital for the company’s foundation (GmbH: At least CHF 20’000; AG: At least CHF 100’000; At least CHF 50’000 paid in upon foundation).

The capital can be deposited in any Swiss bank of one’s choice (blocked account for company foundation). Caution: Postfinance is still not considered as a Bank. Therefore, it is not possible to deposit the share capital in Postfinance.

Preferably you establish or convert your company with STARTUPS.CH. STARTUPS.CH will provide you with professional guidance before and after the foundation.

Here you will be able to apply for a counselling interview and to request free documentation.
