| | Opening up an erotic massage business in Switzerland - what do I need to do ?
Hello Everyone. We are couple from Lithuania. We are planning to come to Switzerland, to Zurich to start our business. Because we have an experience in that field, we would like to open erotic massage salon. Would you please, advice with opening a company regarding that business and renting a premisses. Thank you for your time and help.

Have you already surveyed the market here ? | | | | | Agree, I'd definitely do that first. My impression is that there are a lot of that type of businesses around so you should find out more about them to see if you have any chance of competing. Then I'd approach a "Treuhandbüro" to get advice on the paperwork and permits you'll need. Don't assume it's going to be easy.

The market is saturated, so unless you have a USP, it's going to be hard. Just to give you an idea - I recently spotted an ad where they were offering quite a bit more than an erotic massage for the princely sum of 35 francs for 15 minutes. Which is disgraceful but the competition looks ferocious if you go by the number of ads in the paper for the Zurich area alone.
But I really just wanted to say - I posted in what will probably be one of the more interesting threads to go train wreck. | The following 5 users would like to thank Kittster for this useful post: | |

The problem with this thread is that being able to give useful information about this kind of business has a negative effect on your reputation

Maybe it is because I am here since a long time now... but am I the only one who see a troll starting a thread that will make people talk?

Why not hitch up a caravan and come and see for yourselves? The market really is swamped in the cities, but maybe there is a possibility in the villages. This is why I suggest bringing the caravan, as winter will soon be upon us.
If you want to stay legal you need to go to the "Gewerbe Polizei" in the town of your choice, in Zurich http://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/pd/de/in...rmationen.html
There are a few Swiss laws that forbid you forcing people to work here,
0.311.31
Internationales Übereinkommen vom 18. Mai 1904 zur Gewährleistung eines wirksamen Schutzes gegen das unter dem Namen «Mädchenhandel» bekannte verbrecherische Treiben (mit Unterzeichnungsprotokoll)
0.311.32
Internationales Übereinkommen vom 4. Mai 1910 zur Bekämpfung des Mädchenhandels (mit Schlussprotokoll)
0.311.33
Internationales Übereinkommen vom 30. September 1921 zur Unterdrückung des Frauen- und Kinderhandels (mit Schlussakte)
0.311.34
Internationales Abkommen vom 11. Oktober 1933 über die Unterdrückung des Handels mit volljährigen Frauen
0.311.37
Sklavereiabkommen vom 25. September 1926
0.311.371
Zusatzübereinkommen vom 7. September 1956 über die Abschaffung der Sklaverei, des Sklavenhandels und sklavereiähnlicher Einrichtungen und Praktiken

Sbrinz were you suggesting a mobile emporium? It may qualify for subsidy if performing services in the countryside (meaning the more inhospitable parts of Swissyland)....note no Shakespearian reference!

No, we havn't surveyed the market yet, but what we are trying being in Lithuania is to get as much information as possible,because we would have to count our budget, to write a business plan and so on. But soon, in one month time we are planning to come to Zurich for 2 weeks, just to explore the territory, to see what is the demand.

Good idea. In the mean time, search on Google using German keywords like erotische Massage and you will have a rough idea. Sample search link.
Alternate in French or Italian as you wish. Who knows, if you plan to do an on call service, you might have some clients from right here itself |

There seems to be spate of this type of thread starting recently - people wanting to start up/buy/invest in a business.
