You're there: you have decided to start your own business. But you still have a lot of questions, which is quite alright: there are many things to know before you start, and it can be difficult to think of everything.

When you start out and decide to set up your business, one of the questions you will soon ask yourself is: “What legal form should you choose?”

Among the most popular legal forms in Switzerland, the sole proprietorship does not go unnoticed! It is the most common, and it continues to attract more and more entrepreneurs every year.

When you form your company, two paths are possible: the choice of the sole proprietorship, or opting for the limited company.

In Switzerland, the PLC or Inc. (AG/SA) is one of the most common legal forms, with the Ltd. (LLC) and sole proprietorship. It can be formed by one or more natural or legal persons.
