Starting a Sole Proprietorship – Do I Have to Make an Entry in the Commercial Register?
Starting a sole proprietorship in Switzerland requires careful consideration of the commercial register entry. Essentially, a sole proprietorship must be registered with the Commercial Register if the annual turnover exceeds CHF 100,000.
Why Register Even if It’s Not Mandatory?
Even though the annual turnover does not exceed CHF 100,000, an entry in the Commercial Register is recommended. Without an entry in the Commercial Register, it is difficult to close contracts, such as opening a business account or leasing a company car. An excerpt from the commercial register further evidences the existence of the sole proprietorship business.
