Holding Company Strategies in Liechtenstein – Optimize Your EU and Global Investments

When it comes to consolidating global assets, managing risk, and creating intergenerational wealth plans, Liechtenstein has emerged as one of Europe’s most robust jurisdictions. Its legal flexibility, low corporate tax, and direct access to EU markets make it a strategic choice for entrepreneurs, investors, and family offices.
At RB Swiss, we specialize in cross-border structuring — combining the legal advantages of Liechtenstein with Swiss efficiency and administrative oversight.
