Why found a limited liability company?
The advantages at a glance

Choosing a legal form is a significant step on your way to founding a company. A GmbH offers you a wealth of advantages that can put your company on the road to success.

An easy start

Forming a limited liability company in Switzerland is an accessible choice for budding entrepreneurs thanks to the comparatively low minimum share capital of only CHF 20,000 and the ability to found the company on your own. This allows you to lay the foundation for your business without having to overcome a high financial barrier.

Limited liability means greater security

As a member of a limited liability company, your financial liability is limited to your share of the capital stock. This protects your personal assets and allows you to run your business with greater security.

Flexibility of legal form

Should your GmbH develop and grow, you can convert it into a corporation without needing to liquidate. This flexibility allows you to optimally support the expansion of your company.

Freedom in choosing the company name

You have relative freedom in choosing a name for your GmbH. It only needs to include the suffix “GmbH” to clearly identify the legal form of your company. A unique and memorable name can help create a strong position and identity for your company in the market.

Efficient tax structuring

Progressive taxation can be optimized by splitting the profits and recording the wages of the owners as expenses for the GmbH, providing greater financial flexibility.

Tax-free profits on sale of the company

Another advantage of a limited liability company is that profits from the sale of the company are tax-free. This is particularly attractive if you plan to sell your company at a later date.

Nexova AG will help you optimimize these advantages. Let us pave the way for your successful GmbH together!

The safety net of a GmbH:
The liability regulation

The question of liability is an essential consideration when choosing the legal form of a company. With a GmbH, liability is limited to the company’s capital – a key feature that makes a GmbH so attractive to company founders.

How does liability work with a GmbH?

The designation “limited liability company” applies to the company’s shareholders. This means that your financial risk is limited to your share capital contribution. However, the GmbH itself has unlimited liability for its obligations.

Since the share capital must be paid in full when a GmbH is founded, there is no personal liability on the part of the shareholders. This regulation gives you, as a shareholder, the necessary security to drive your company forward with full commitment.

Are there exceptions?

In certain cases, the articles of association may stipulate so-called additional and ancillary contribution obligations. These can only be considered in order to cover balance sheet losses, to enable the proper continuation of business or in cases specified in the articles of association. In such cases, they may not exceed twice the nominal value of your ordinary share (Art. 795 OR).
