Operate without creating a Swiss company
With Skalis Switzerland’s EOR service, you can employ staff in Switzerland
without opening a branch or subsidiary (SA/SARL). Skalis becomes your legal employer and manages:
- Employment contracts compliant with Swiss labour law.
- Payroll, AVS (social insurance), LPP (pension fund), taxes, and accident insurance.
- Full compliance with federal and cantonal employment regulations.
- HR administration and communication between your HQ and Swiss team.
Which canton should you choose for your business?
Switzerland is a federal country – each canton has its own tax rates and economic characteristics.
Choosing the right canton is a strategic decision depending on your objectives: taxation, talent availability,
language, proximity, and sector. Here’s a quick overview:
- Geneva – Ideal for international business and cross-border operations. French-speaking, global outlook, slightly higher taxes.
- Vaud (Lausanne) – Balanced between innovation, lifestyle, and moderate taxation. Popular with tech and life sciences companies.
- Zurich – Switzerland’s main financial and business hub. Perfect for finance, consulting, and corporate headquarters.
- Zug – Extremely tax-attractive; Europe’s hub for fintech, blockchain, and technology firms.
- Basel – Strong in pharmaceuticals and manufacturing. Excellent connections to France and Germany.
- Fribourg / Neuchâtel – Bilingual cantons with balanced tax regimes, ideal for SMEs and industrial players.
For tax efficiency and tech operations, Zug is a top choice.
Skalis Switzerland helps you select the best canton for your expansion strategy.
