• Starting a public limited company in Switzerland

    The public limited company (PLC) is one of Switzerland's most popular legal forms for new companies, as it suitable for almost all profit-oriented companies. Founders rely on a public limited company because they only have to be liable with their own share capital. But it requires more starting capital than other legal forms.
