Frequently Asked Questions

Here are common questions from IT companies working with us in Switzerland.

Do I need a local entity to operate in Switzerland?

It depends on your business model. Many SaaS and consulting companies benefit from a Swiss GmbH structure for credibility and tax efficiency.

Is Swiss data protection similar to GDPR?

Yes, the revised Swiss DPA is largely aligned with GDPR, but there are key differences in consent, cross-border transfers, and enforcement.

Can I pay developers as freelancers in Switzerland?

Yes, but contractor classification rules are strict. We help set up compliant agreements and avoid misclassification risks.

What are typical IP issues in IT startups?

Founders often overlook IP assignment, co-founder rights, and licensing terms. These issues can jeopardize funding or acquisition later.

Is crypto legal in Switzerland?

Yes, Switzerland is a crypto-friendly jurisdiction. However, token classification, AML compliance, and custody regulations must be carefully followed.

Do you provide services in English?

Yes, all our legal services are available in English. We also offer bilingual documentation in German or French as needed.
