Re: How to freelance in CH?

For the Sole trader thing, does it have any restriction? For example, i have to have any permit or i need to be an EU? As now i am back to my home country in Asia, will it still be possible to set up a sole trader business?

HI Nicky,

There are three structures you can take (Not strictly true there are some others but they will not be applying (ie cooperative and partnership) for reasons beyond the scope)

1, Sole trader
2. GmbH equivalent UK Ltd.
3. AG equivalent UK PLC

To setup either of the latter two you will need to follow set rules AND have a deposit of multiple thousands of Swiss Francs (or business usable assets to the equivalent value). The minimum figures are 10K for a GmbH and 50K for an AG.

For a sole trader you will need to find a name for your business that includes your surname and complete the AHV sole trader application form. You may also find it useful to invest the SFr. 150 - 200 to register your business on the trade register.

And then of course you will need to open a business bank account...

And that is it. Now I guess you have some questions as it cannot be that easy, right? So fire away...
