Fiduciare

About Fiduciare

Fiduciare is a one-founder fiduciary practice in Zurich aimed at people arriving from abroad who want to start a business in Switzerland. Its website is offered in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, and the founder advises orally in English, German and Portuguese and in writing also in Spanish, Italian and French. The firm separates its audience into newcomers, residents who want to go self-employed or set up a GmbH, cross-border commuters from the EU and EFTA area, and small Swiss businesses. For founders it handles the commercial register, notary documents, the migration office, social insurance and health-insurance choice, and it points out that it cannot act as the Swiss-resident signatory a GmbH or AG requires. After incorporation it continues with bookkeeping, VAT and annual accounts, and it prepares personal tax returns. Hourly pricing is published openly.
