What’s the Best Option for Your Swiss Business?
Setting up a company in Switzerland? One of the first decisions you’ll face is whether to establish your business with a c/o (care of) address or invest in your own physical office.
Both options are legally accepted for domiciling your business, but the right choice depends on your operational structure, budget, and long-term goals.
What Is a c/o Address?
A c/o address is a cost-effective solution where your company is registered at an address managed by a third party, like SwissFirm. It is a smart choice for:
●Startups or international businesses with limited physical presence in Switzerland
●Companies needing quick setup without long-term leasing obligations
●Entrepreneurs who operate remotely
SwissFirm provides reliable c/o domicile services in Switzerland, including mail handling and official representation.
Pros and Cons of a c/o Address
✅ Advantages:
●Cost-effective – no lease or utility bills
●Fast registration and flexible terms
●Professional handling of mail and communication
●Ideal for compliance with Swiss commercial register requirements
⚠️ Considerations:
●Not suitable for businesses needing regular client visits
●Less autonomy over space and image
For many businesses, a c/o setup is ideal for entry into the Swiss market before scaling.
What About Your Own Office?
Renting your own office offers full control of your physical space. This option is suited to:
●Companies with in-house teams or frequent client meetings
●Businesses needing dedicated infrastructure
●Brands seeking to showcase their physical presence
While it provides full autonomy, it also comes with higher costs and longer commitments.
