Swiss Company Formation for Inland Shipping Companies

Establishing a Swiss Company for Inland Shipping Businesses

Switzerland can be a major step forward for your inland shipping company. We help ensure it is the right step from day one.

A Swiss Company? A Smart Move.

There is just one catch: regulations, authorities, taxation, accounting, and payroll.

That is where we come in.

You Are Not an Ordinary Business

And that is why you do not need an ordinary advisor.

An inland shipping company operates in a unique environment involving crews, international operations, employment regulations, payroll management, and regulatory authorities.

We understand this reality.

You do not need to spend hours explaining how the inland shipping industry works.

Simply tell us where you want your company to go. We will show you what makes sense in Switzerland.

You focus on vessels, crews, and business operations. We take care of Switzerland.

Which Legal Structure Is Right for You?

GmbH, AG, or Branch Office? We recommend the structure that makes sense for your business.

Not based on a template.

Based on your corporate structure, fleet, business plans, and employment model.

GmbH

Suitable for small and medium-sized inland shipping companies seeking a clear, reliable, and professional business structure.

AG

Suitable for larger companies, investors, and more complex international structures.

Branch Office

An ideal solution for established EU companies that wish to operate in Switzerland without creating a separate Swiss legal entity.

Service Packages

You can manage every step yourself. Or arrive at a ready-made solution.

Choose the level of support that suits your needs.
If you are already busy running your business, we can handle the process for you.
