Success, Thanks for all the replie earlyer in the year ....We finaly got it done , turning our "Einzelfirma" into a GmbH .
Wasnt so complicated , so mayn companies offered us deals to help set up.
In the end all we needed was an accountant , a solicitor and 20,000chf in the bank ....cash.
Accountant set up the papper work.
Solicitor dated and stamped it .. sent it to the county
Bank confirms money is in the account ( a locked account)
Then you wait a month for the county papers to return .
The bank then release the money.
Job done.
Comments anyone?

congrats and well done. what services/products do you intend to offer?

Great, now you can focus on:

• AHV/IV
• FAK
• UVG
• BVG
• VAT
• Accounts/audit
• Company taxation
• OR (legislative compliance)
• Occupational health and safety
• etc.

Do they give you the CHF20K back or is it locked in an account.

It belongs to the company - but once released, the company can use it again.

Well done.

A month was quick.

I started the process 4 months ago and am still waiting for the Kanton Authroities to work through their backlog!

Yes of course we got the money back .. you have to put in the papers a paragraph declareing the company to have free access to the funds...

We also had a papaerwork delay , but as long as the papers are dared before end of June the GmbH will be " backdated" to Jan 01 2009.

Perks

It may of been a daft question, but I wasn't sure whether the 20K fund was held in a bond, against bankruptcy or bad debts.
