Why found a stock corporation?

The stock corporation is one of the most popular legal forms for companies in Switzerland and many other countries. It is characterized by a share capital divided into shares. Shareholders are only liable up to the amount of their contributions and are otherwise exempt from personal financial obligations.

A stock corporation is founded by one or more founders and must be entered in the commercial register. It is a legal entity and therefore an independent legal entity. The management of the stock corporation is in the hands of the Board of Directors, which is elected by the shareholders. The joint stock company can publicly offer shares and thus generate capital for investments and expansion.

The benefits of a stock corporation

  • Shareholders have limited liability. This means that liability is limited to the equity invested (share capital) and is not liable with private assets.
  • The company name can be chosen almost freely, only the addition 'AG' must be included.
  • Stocks are easy to trade.
  • All you need to set up an stock corporation is a natural or legal person.
  • It is easy to accept new shareholders and transfer shares.
  • The creditworthiness of a stock corporation tends to be high.
  • It is possible to invest in a stock company anonymously.

The disadvantages of a stock corporation

  • A minimum capital of CHF 100,000 is required for the start-up, half of which (CHF 50,000) must be paid in at the time of incorporation.
  • The stock corporation is subject to so-called double taxation. This means that, on the one hand, a tax is levied on the income and capital of the stock corporation and, on the other hand, income (dividend) and assets are taxed on the shareholder.
  • The management (board of directors, management) can be held liable for negligent or criminal acts involving private assets (crackdown).
  • Certain bodies are mandatory and there is an increased administrative burden.
  • Public limited companies have strict accounting requirements.
