sole entrepreneur The only owner is the entrepreneur. Sharing of ownership is not possible. Can be created without capital. The owner has full liability. Is taxed at individual level together with all other personal income

Shares can		 An AG requires a minimum capital of 100K CHF.

50K must be delivered in cash or as assets.

 

 Only the AG with its assets Profit of the company is taxed separately from owner’s tax declarations.

Cantons also require also a tax on the capital.
between 0.01  and 7 per thousand.
