Secure Your Zurich AddressWhy Your Swiss Company Needs a Registered Office
Under Swiss law (Art. 56 of the Civil Code), every legal entity must have a domicile — the place stated in its articles of association and recorded in the Commercial Register. This address determines the company's legal venue (jurisdiction for lawsuits), the applicable cantonal tax regime, and the competent Commercial Register office.
Legal Requirement
A Swiss company cannot exist without a registered domicile. The address must be a real, physical location — PO boxes are not accepted by the Commercial Register. Our office fulfils all legal requirements.
Tax Implications
The registered office determines which canton taxes your company. Zurich offers competitive corporate tax rates (approx. 19.7% combined) and a sophisticated financial ecosystem with easy access to banks, auditors, and legal counsel.
Business Credibility
An address in Zurich 8008 (Seefeld) signals professionalism. Banks, partners, and clients associate this district with established, well-managed businesses. It makes a tangible difference in bank account applications and B2B relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a registered office address if I do not live in Switzerland?
Yes. Many of our clients are based outside Switzerland and use our registered office as their company's legal domicile. The address fulfils the legal requirement for a Swiss domicile. You will still need at least one Swiss-resident representative (director or authorised signatory), which we can provide through our nominee director service.
Is a registered office the same as a virtual office?
Not exactly. A registered office is the legal domicile of your company as recorded in the Commercial Register — it is a legal requirement. A virtual office typically adds services like phone answering, dedicated phone numbers, and on-demand meeting room access. We offer both: the registered office for legal compliance, and optional virtual office services for day-to-day business needs.
How quickly can I get a registered office?
The domicile agreement can be signed within 24 hours. If you are forming a new company or purchasing a shelf company, the registered office is included as part of the setup process and is ready from day one. For existing companies changing their address, the Commercial Register update typically takes 5-10 business days.
What happens to my mail?
We receive all mail addressed to your company. Standard mail is scanned and sent to you electronically within one business day. Physical originals can be forwarded to any address worldwide or held at our office for collection. Registered letters and official correspondence from authorities are handled with priority and you are notified immediately.
