You will need a capital contribution and a business account, depending on the legal form you choose. We will tell you what you need.

What is a capital contribution account and why do I need it?

You will need a capital contribution account (CCA) before constituting a company (GmbH/AG). You are required to transfer the initial capital (CHF 20’000 for a GmbH, CHF 100’000 for a AG) to this account, thereby proving that you have the necessary assets.

You can only access this capital and transfer it to a business account after the company has been entered in the commercial register.

The costs of a capital contribution account, as well as the processes for opening it, vary from bank to bank. We would be happy to find the right solution for you.

Do I need a separate business account as a sole proprietorship?

In principle, owners of a sole proprietorship do not need to open a separate business account. However, a separate account will simplify your accounting tremendously and reduce the workload, for example for an external accountant.

The costs of a business account are modest and usually also include a company credit card to simplify payments for your company.
