Subsidiary Set Up in Europe

Challenge: Lack of Local Knowledge

Opening a subsidiary in Switzerland, France, or Belgium involves complex legal steps and structural decisions that may impact your tax exposure and your parent company’s organization.

Solution

Our trusted legal and accounting partners assist you throughout the entire process. They are accustomed to working with foreign companies. Together with your management team, our partners define the optimal legal structure and manage all administrative formalities to ensure a smooth, compliant setup.

Challenge: Time and Administrative Burden

Dealing with paperwork, supplier selection, and regulatory steps takes time you could be spending on growing your business. Doing it alone often leads to delays and frustration.

Solution

We help you register your company, find office space, prepare accounting and insurance, and have partner experts take care of all legal declarations. You focus on business — we manage the administrative process end to end.

Challenge: Finding Reliable Local Providers

You're not based locally and don’t know which lawyers, banks, or accountants to trust. Sourcing each separately wastes time and increases risk. In addition, many experts aren’t accustomed to working with foreign firms and translating local legal and tax concepts to foreign clients. We have carefully built up a team of internationally versed experts for you.

Solution

We act as your single point of contact in Switzerland, France, or Belgium. We coordinate the full setup with vetted law firms, banks, accounting firms, insurers, and office providers. We also plan your visits to sign documents and inspect offices.

Our tailor-made support to open your subsidiary in Switzerland, France, or Belgium.

Step 1 – Understanding Your Business and Goals

We start by reviewing your current structure, sales objectives, and the role this new subsidiary will play in your European strategy. This helps us align your legal setup with your commercial ambitions.

Step 2 – Choosing the Right Legal Structure

Sarl, SAS, SA or Branch... Which format is the best fit for your group structure, tax strategy, and HR plans? We guide you with support from local legal experts to make the optimal choice.

Step 3 – Registering Your Subsidiary

We coordinate the full legal registration of your subsidiary with official authorities, together with our partner law firms. You get a compliant, operational company — without managing the process yourself.

Step 4 – Setting Up Operations Locally

We help you secure office space, organize business insurance, set up accounting and payroll, introduce headhunters to hire your first employee, and arrange all necessary utilities (internet, phones, etc.).

Step 5 – Supporting Your Local Growth

Once your subsidiary is active, we stay involved. We assist your team with practical matters, connect you with trusted local providers, and ensure a smooth transition into daily operations.
