We help foreign tech startups and SMEs expand into Switzerland — often a market that isn't on the shortlist yet. A confidential, no-obligation assessment of fit, cost, and structure, and the network to execute quickly if it turns out to be a good fit.
Start the conversationBefore anything is committed, we give you a realistic, independent picture: whether Switzerland fits your plans, which canton makes sense for a tech business, and what IP protection, data compliance, and cost actually look like — so you can decide with confidence, not guesswork.
Once you decide to proceed, we navigate Swiss corporate law and regulatory compliance on your behalf, structuring your entity for tax efficiency and operational readiness from day one.
Gain immediate access to Switzerland's network of banking institutions, legal experts, cantonal authorities, and tech hubs — from Zug's Crypto Valley to the EPFL and ETH innovation clusters — giving your new operation credible standing from day one.
Rhône Business Solutions was founded on a straightforward conviction: that finding out whether Switzerland belongs on your shortlist — and then acting on it — should be seamless, not laborious. We help foreign tech startups and SMEs expand through the opening of a new branch, relocation, or a broader market-entry strategy, often before Switzerland has even entered the conversation, giving them an honest picture before any commitment is made and an independent network of specialist partners who can move quickly once a decision is reached.
We have formed working partnerships with established law firms, local banks, and office providers active in every Swiss canton, and we maintain a presence within Geneva's chamber of commerce ecosystem. That architecture means our clients benefit from genuine local expertise across the entire country, coordinated through a single point of contact.
Discretion is not a feature we offer — it is the foundation on which every engagement is built. Companies come to us while they are still deciding, long before any move is public, and we treat that trust as the most important thing we hold.
We work with established law firms operating across all 26 Swiss cantons. Each partner is selected for their depth in commercial law, regulatory compliance, and entity structuring — ensuring your legal setup is handled by practitioners who know the local landscape intimately.
We maintain working relationships with local Swiss banks across key cantons. These connections enable smoother account opening processes, more informed banking selection, and introductions that would otherwise take considerable time and local standing to cultivate — standing a company new to Switzerland doesn't yet have.
Through dedicated office rental partners present in every canton, we can identify and secure appropriate commercial premises wherever your business needs to be — from Geneva's financial centre to Zug's corporate hub or any point in between.
Our connection to the Chambre de commerce, d'industrie et des services de Genève gives our clients access to Geneva's business community from the outset, and we maintain relationships with Switzerland's tech clusters — from Zug's Crypto Valley to the EPFL and ETH innovation ecosystems — wherever your business fits best.
Every engagement is governed by absolute confidentiality. We do not reference clients, disclose structures, or share information. What enters this relationship stays within it.
Swiss business demands exactitude. We deliver coordination, documentation, and advice that is accurate and thorough — leaving nothing to chance.
We own outcomes, not just deliverables. If something requires follow-through, we follow through — without needing to be reminded.
Our relationships extend well beyond the initial setup. We remain your local anchor as your Swiss operations grow and evolve.
Switzerland rarely tops the list when tech companies think about where to expand — but for many, it should. We help foreign tech startups and SMEs get there through the opening of a new branch, relocation, or a tailored market-entry strategy. Without local knowledge, it's hard to even know whether it's worth a look. We give you a clear, honest picture of the fit, then the network to execute quickly if it makes sense.
Switzerland is not one market — it is 26. Tax treatment of IP and R&D, talent pools, data-hosting rules, and proximity to hubs like Zug, Zurich, or Lausanne vary meaningfully between cantons. Through our legal, banking, and office partners active in every canton, we can serve you wherever fits your tech business best, without compromise on local expertise.
Most advisory firms handle one piece of the puzzle. We coordinate the full picture — entity selection, legal structuring, banking introductions, premises, and ecosystem access. One point of contact, one coherent process, and no risk of things falling apart between providers.
Our connection to the CCIG and our local banking relationships mean your business enters Switzerland's commercial community with credible introductions — not as an unknown. That kind of access is typically built over years. We make it available from the moment you engage us.
We take on a limited number of engagements at any given time. That is intentional. It means every client receives direct, attentive service — and absolute confidentiality throughout.
We have no interest in talking you into a jurisdiction that doesn't fit. If Switzerland — or a particular canton — isn't the right answer for your business, we will tell you plainly, before any commitment is made. Our advice is worth having precisely because it isn't a sales pitch.
Switzerland's legal and financial infrastructure has been shaped over centuries around the protection of private information. Strict data protection laws, confidential banking relationships, and robust IP protection all work in your favour — both while you are still deciding, and once your technology and user data are on Swiss soil.
Swiss corporate structures — from SA to Sàrl to holding configurations — can be tailored to your needs, and different cantons suit different plans. Before you commit to anything, we help you understand what the options actually mean for cost, visibility, and timeline.
Every client relationship is governed by a non-disclosure agreement as standard. We do not share client names, discuss engagements, or use past work as a reference. Your business in Switzerland remains your business — entirely.
Switzerland is not simply a convenient address. It is one of the world's most stable political, economic, and legal environments — a distinction earned over centuries of institutional prudence, democratic consistency, and financial discipline.
Whether you're already comparing Switzerland to other bases or just starting to look at where to expand, stability is often the deciding factor. What you build here, you build on ground that does not shift.
Whether you're opening a new branch, relocating, or working through a broader market-entry strategy — or simply exploring whether Switzerland makes sense for your tech business — tell us where you stand and we will come back to you within one business day. All enquiries are treated with complete confidentiality, and there is no obligation to proceed.
We are reachable directly by email. All enquiries are treated with complete confidentiality and answered within one business day.
