The Role of a Notary in Swiss Company Formation
When establishing a company in Switzerland, a notary is a mandatory part of the process for structures such as a GmbH or AG. Their role ensures that your business is formed in full compliance with Swiss law.
Why a Notary Is Required
Swiss law requires notarization for corporate entities. The notary acts as an independent authority who verifies identities, confirms legal compliance, and certifies the incorporation documents. Without this step, registration in the commercial register is not possible.
For official information, refer to the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO):
Key Tasks of the Notary
The notary is responsible for:
- Certifying the articles of association
- Conducting the incorporation meeting
- Verifying share capital deposits
- Submitting documents to the commercial register
This guarantees legal certainty and protects all parties involved.
