Domiciliation .

In order for a company to be incorporated in Switzerland, it must have a “legal domicile” in this country (cf. Artt. 2 Sect. c, 117 Sect. 2, 3 Swiss Commercial Register Ordinance [HRegV]). This domicile may be a so called “c/o” address (cf. Article 117 Section 3 HRegV) provided by a third-party. However, depending on possible tax considerations on part of its founders, the company might want to lease office space in order to acquire an “own legal domicile”.

ZEOH can conveniently provide its clients, founders or not, with instantly available “c/o” addresses for business purposes. We can also arrange for founders and companies to lease shared or dedicated office space suitable as the legal domicile of a company. In both cases, ZEOH can take care of all the clerical and secretarial duties necessary to main the legal status of the companies domicile.
