The new company formations report for November 2016 clearly shows that, once again, the number of new companies in Switzerland is growing. The end of the year may even show a new record for start-ups.

New start-up record within reach<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The new company formations report of November 2016 is to be warmly welcomed, as it clearly shows that, once again, the number of start-ups being founded in Switzerland is increasing. This month, the Swiss Commercial Gazette (Schweizer Handelsamtblatt) shows 3,466 new entries in the Commercial Register. This represents a 3.74% increase on the previous year. Growth on the previous month is even stronger at 9.13%. If this December shows as many new registrations as last December, then 2016 will see a new record for new company formations. This would be good news for the Swiss economy, which in the past few years had had to contend with several challenges.<\/p>\n

Inter-cantonal comparison<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In this new company formations report, the standout performer is the canton of Schwyz, with a record number of 107 new entries. It has thus increased its relative share of new formations in Switzerland as a whole to 3.09%. Still unbeaten at the top is Zurich with 622 new entries in November, which corresponds to a relative share of 17.95% of all new formations. Then follow the western cantons of Lausanne (9.41% share) and Geneva (9.09% share).<\/p>\n

Compared to the previous year, the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden posted extremely strong growth of 1,000%. This outlier is attributable to big changes within the canton; last year it registered just one new formation, but this year has seen ten. Strong growth was also seen in Zurich (+7.99%), Geneva (+10.92%) and Bern (+13.03%). Based on consistent performance from these and other economically dominant cantons, November 2016 also posted extremely strong overall results with good growth.<\/p>\n
