| Hi Richard,
Thanls for the comments.
We just went along with the advice given by our lawyer; and as I would be working initially at the one client, we felt the hassle attached to using an Einzelfirma would be too great - hence we went with a GmbH.
The cost mentioned (got from the govt website) for a GmbH is perhaps a little exaggerated - ISTR we paid about 1200 legal fees to our lawyer for drawing up the statutes and 2400 to the notary for the privilege of sitting in his plush office and using his fountain pen to sign the papers. But then our company setup was pretty "boilerplate" in nature.
I'd appreciate any other comments you may have BTW - just mail me privately if you don't want to take the thread too off-topic.
Cheers,
Nick | |

Hi Nick,
I will do that as it is a good resource. Won't be till Friday or monday though - busy!
On another note the bullshit that surrounds the setting up of a GmbH really winds me up. You can actually do it for nothing or next door to nothing - just sign your car over to the company and pang you meet the criteria assuming of course it has value of more than 10K. The notary expenses and the handelsregister entry are unavoidable but the rest... By the way you were clearly in a Canton like ZH where the notaries are elected and not self employed... The average cost is ca CHF 1500.
