| Thanks for your time, My thinking about your last point is this:
Lets say a non-European person gets married overseas to an EU citizen and then the EU citizen decides to take up a job offer in Switzerland so the non-European person ( usually a wife in 90% of cases) comes along as part of the deal on a B permit and is allowed to work and have all the rights of a EU person in Switzerland, including living and working where-ever she or he decides. | |
| | |
That's right, as long as wherever he or she decides is within Switzerland.

| A right you say an EU person whose professional credentials and financial situation have been checked doesn't have because they don't fit into the mold of being married and working as an employee for a company just across the border in a neighbouring state. So they can't be an employee of their own company now? | |

If said company is located in Switzerland or in areas immediatly adjacent to the border (areas defined in specific accords between Switzerland and its neighbors) the EU person does have those rights (that would be articles 31 and 32 of the Free Movement Agreement). Unfortunately I cannot help you as to exactly which those zones are. Note a cross-border business permit would involve data request and verification across the border - don't blame the Swiss it may be the Italians are slow (as shocking a thought that may be)...

| Secondly what happens if the said non-EU person who accompanied her husband then splits from him after a year and is able to start a new life and take up a job completely without restrictions under the B permit. Who would know?. Will their permit be revoaked. | |
| | |
Yes, the permit will be revoked unless said non-EU person can justify either an employment contract or an independent setup likely to afford access to a non-EU B permit.

| I'm sure there are situations like this, and how does this compare with the financially secure self-employed EU persons rights, which although Switzerland is not a Schengen country it has in some way gone along with. | |

The non-EU national is worse off than the EU-National.

| The other point is the expense of setting up a new company while maitaining the old one in Italy in order to be able to invoice appropriately. | |

I believe those expenses have been expertly detailed by Richard in the business setup thread.
