How easy is it to recruit staff
in Switzerland?
Even though Switzerland has one
of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe, (3.9% in 2009) you will not have
any problems recruiting the right people for your business. The workforce is
well educated and highly skilled, with over 80% of the labour pool in
possession of a secondary diploma or vocational training. Switzerland has four
official languages – French, German Italian and Romansh and English is widely
used. The country has an advanced recruitment sector and
EuroCompanyFormations.com will be happy to help you if you require advice on
this.
What is the regulatory
environment like?
Swiss authorities do their best
to ensure that business regulation is as light as possible, but it should be
noted that companies are subject to canton (state) as well as federal laws.
Cantons have regulatory and taxation powers of their own and they differ from one
canton to another, so expert advice is essential. We have local specialists on
standby to guide you through everything you need to know.
What about banking facilities?
Swiss banks represent the last
word in efficiency and discretion, managing about a third of the world's
private assets and most international financial institutions have a base here.
So when it comes to selecting a bank for your newly-opened Swiss company, you
will be spoiled for choice.
To what extent are Swiss banks
regulated?
Heavily regulated. In recent
times, the Swiss authorities have introduced strict regulations to guard
against money laundering and to ensure compliance and co-operation with
international pressures. The banks here face heavy due diligence requirements
and are very cautious in dealing with new clients. They prefer new clients to
be introduced by people they already know and trust. This is one of the reasons
why it makes sense to open a bank account with the help of our local experts,
as well as incorporate a company in Switzerland with us.
Are there financial incentives
available?
Not much support for investment
is available at federal level. The Government does, however, support some
infrastructure investment, such as tourism facilities, communications and training,
with subsidised loans of up to 25%. At cantonal level, it is possible to
qualify for other kinds of support such as rent subsidies, waiving of work
permit requirements, tax holidays up to 10 years, cheap energy, etc.
