invest in Switzerland

Switzerland is one of the most competitive business centres in the world. There are many good reasons to locate a business in Switzerland: innovation and technology, a liberal economic system, political stability, close links with foreign markets, excellent education and healthcare systems, an outstanding infrastructure, a high standard of living, and a competitive tax system.

Switzerland is not in the European Union but has bilateral trade agreements in place with every country in Europe. This ensures free movement of goods, services and people. Switzerland has more free trade agreements than the EU, so investing in an independent country like Switzerland significantly reduces the risks associated with international expansion.

Sovereign Trust (Switzerland) serves a wide range of clients made up of international companies, individual business owners, property investors and family offices looking to structure their investments in the most cost effective and tax efficient manner.

Stability is a hallmark of the Swiss financial centre. Switzerland’s solid banks, its reliable legal system and political institutions, and its sound currency make it a ‘safe haven’ for individuals and companies from all over the world. Switzerland’s wealth managers are culturally diverse and offer a complete range of products and services for customers of every nationality and wealth category.

There has been and continues to be strong interest in Switzerland as a jurisdiction for relocation – whether that be for wealth or business owners, or family offices seeking a stable jurisdiction from which wealth can be managed. High living standards, a world-renowned educational system, stunning Alpine locations and competitive tax rates make Switzerland a highly attractive place of residence.

We can assist on a broad range of matters, including wealth structuring, financial planning and pensions, asset protection, Swiss residence, real estate and the incorporation and administration of foundations, charities, companies and trusts.
