The Certificate of Incorporation for Sole Proprietorship is a crucial document required when establishing a single-owner business in Switzerland. This document is mandatory for sole proprietorships with annual turnover exceeding CHF 100,000 and optional for smaller businesses. It serves as the foundational document that officially registers the business with Swiss authorities and is governed by the Swiss Code of Obligations and cantonal regulations. The certificate includes vital information about the business owner, trading name, purpose, location, and scope of operations. It must be filed with the cantonal commercial registry and may require notarization depending on local requirements. This document is essential for opening business bank accounts, entering into contracts, and complying with Swiss business regulations.
