Everything you need to
start your business

Starting a company involves more than completing a registration form. We help you establish the right structure and coordinate
the key administrative steps required for your company formation.

Choosing the right legal form

We help you evaluate whether a sole proprietorship, GmbH, AG or another legal structure is appropriate for your business, taking factors such as ownership, liability, capital and future plans into account.

Company name and registered office

We help clarify the information required for your company name, registered office and registration with the relevant authorities. 

Incorporation documents

We prepare the documents required for your company formation based on the selected legal form and ownership structure. 

Entry in the Commercial Register

We coordinate the submission of the required incorporation documents to the relevant cantonal commercial registry office.

Commercial Register registration

We coordinate the submission of the required incorporation documents to the relevant cantonal Commercial Register. 

Registrations after incorporation

Where required, we can support you with the next administrative steps, including VAT, social insurance and other relevant registrations. 

Accounting and payroll setup

Once your company is established, MKY can continue supporting you with accounting, payroll, taxes and other fiduciary services. 

Which Legal Form Is Right
for Your Business? 

The appropriate legal form depends on factors such as liability, required capital,
ownership structure and your plans for the business.

Sole proprietorship

A sole proprietorship can be suitable for individuals starting a business independently and looking for a relatively simple structure.

GmbH

A GmbH provides a separate legal structure with limited liability and is commonly used by founders and businesses that want a clear separation between private and company assets.

AG

An AG offers greater flexibility for ownership and capital structures and can be suitable for companies planning for investors, larger structures or future growth. 
Choosing the legal form has consequences for liability, capital, taxes and administration. We help you assess the options before the company is established.
