Zurich Seefeld business district — Registered Office in Switzerland
Legal Compliance

Why 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.

Knowledge Base

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.
Can I change my company's registered office to your address? + −
Yes. If your company is already registered in another canton or at another address, we can help you transfer the registered office to Seefeldstrasse 69, 8008 Zurich. This requires a board resolution, an amendment to the articles of association, and a Commercial Register filing. The process takes approximately 2-4 weeks.
Do you provide a domicile agreement? + −
Yes. A domicile agreement (Domizilvertrag) is included with every registered office engagement. This formal contract between your company and our office is required by the Commercial Register as proof of your right to use the address. We prepare the agreement — you simply sign it.
Is the address accepted by Swiss banks? + −
Yes. Swiss banks accept our Seefeldstrasse 69 address for corporate accounts. A Zurich Seefeld address is well-regarded by major banks including UBS, Zürcher Kantonalbank, and specialised business banks. We can also assist with the bank account opening process.
Can multiple companies share the same registered office address? + −
Yes. Swiss law permits multiple companies to be domiciled at the same address, provided each has a valid domicile agreement. This is standard practice for business centres and law firms. Each company has its own nameplate and receives its own mail separately.
What are the ongoing costs for a registered office? + −
Our registered office service is billed annually. The base package includes the address, domicile agreement, company nameplate, mail reception, and forwarding of official correspondence. Contact us for a personalised quote — pricing depends on your expected mail volume and any additional services you need.
Do I also need a nominee director? + −
If no director or authorised signatory of your company is personally resident in Switzerland, then yes — Swiss law requires at least one Swiss-resident representative. Our nominee director service is frequently combined with the registered office. Together, they ensure full legal compliance for foreign-owned Swiss companies.
Can I use the registered office for my company's VAT registration? + −
Yes. The registered office address can be used for VAT registration with the Federal Tax Administration. This is common for foreign companies that need a Swiss VAT number. We can also provide fiscal representation services for companies that do not have a physical presence in Switzerland.
Why choose Zurich 8008 over other Swiss addresses? + −
Zurich 8008 (Seefeld) is one of the most prestigious business addresses in Switzerland. It signals credibility to banks, clients, and partners. The Zurich Commercial Register is also among the fastest in the country, and the cantonal tax rate is competitive at approximately 19.7% combined. For international businesses, Zurich offers the strongest ecosystem of banks, lawyers, and auditors.
