Opening a company in Switzerland as a French national: conditions, steps and taxation

Many entrepreneurs assume that opening a company in Switzerland as a French national requires living there, or that taxation is automatically lighter.

French nationality is no bar to holding 100% of the capital of a Swiss company; a person domiciled in Switzerland must nevertheless be able to represent it.
