Liquidating a Swiss AG or GmbH takes 12–24 months in most cases, but the range is wide and legally determined. Understand each phase, what drives delays, and how the simplified dissolution route compares.
When a Swiss company closes, employment obligations don't stop at the shareholder vote. Understand notice periods, final wages, the Insolvency Guarantee Fund, pension fund transfer rules, AHV obligations, and mass redundancy law in Switzerland.
Not sure whether to strike off or liquidate your Swiss company? Understand the difference between simplified dissolution and voluntary liquidation in Switzerland — costs, timeline, tax, and liability risks explained.
Voluntary liquidation isn't bankruptcy — it's the smarter alternative. When a Swiss company reaches the end of its useful life, owners can choose to exit on their own terms: creditors paid, reputation intact, process controlled. But Swiss corporate law is unforgiving of shortcuts. Miss a publication deadline, or skip a tax filing, and the liability follows you for years. Here's exactly how to close a Swiss company the right way.
