Four key facts for the self-employed in Switzerland
| Subject | Threshold | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Social security (AVS) | Status recognised by the fund | It is the compensation office that recognises your status, not you. It then asks for advance contribution payments, later adjusted based on your tax assessment. |
| Commercial Register | from CHF 100'000 | A sole proprietorship must register with the commercial register from CHF 100,000 annual turnover. Below that, registration is optional. |
| VAT | from CHF 100'000 | VAT liability becomes mandatory from CHF 100,000 annual turnover from taxable supplies. Below that threshold, voluntary registration may still be beneficial. |
| Accounting | simplified up to CHF 500'000 | Below CHF 500,000 turnover, a sole proprietorship may keep simplified accounts: income, expenses and assets. Documents must be kept for ten years. |

Set up your sole proprietorship
Commercial Register and social insurance
Sole proprietorship or LLC?
A sole proprietorship is simple and fast, but you are personally liable. An LLC separates your personal assets from those of the company and requires CHF 20,000 in capital. We help you decide what suits your business.
