Resident Director Service Switzerland
Swiss law requires every company to have at least one resident director domiciled in Switzerland. For international entrepreneurs, this is often the first legal obstacle to getting started.
ATCA removes that obstacle entirely.
We provide qualified Swiss resident directors who represent your company before authorities, fulfil statutory obligations, and act strictly in accordance with your instructions, while you retain full control of your business.
The Legal Requirement, Simply Explained
Under Swiss company law (OR/CO), every AG (public limited company) and GmbH (limited liability company) must include at least one board member or managing director who is a Swiss resident.
