The Strategic Choice of a Global Employer of Record for  Expansion into Switzerland

As businesses tap into the potential of global markets, the path to international expansion often leads to countries like Switzerland, known for its robust economy and enticing business opportunities. However, the complexities of setting up a legal entity can be overwhelming, creating a barrier to these opportunities. An effective solution to this challenge is partnering with a Global Employer of Record (EOR).

An Introduction to the Global EOR

The Global EOR model is revolutionizing the way businesses expand globally. Serving as the legal employer on your behalf, a Global EOR handles all the local legal, HR, and tax obligations in multiple jurisdictions, including Switzerland, providing a compliant and efficient alternative to setting up a legal entity.

Alleviating the Burden of Pre-Incorporation Expenses

The process of establishing a legal entity in Switzerland necessitates navigating complex legal and financial procedures. These may include acquiring legal and tax consultation, establishing a corporate governance structure, and registering as a local employer. A Global EOR like Acumen International can eliminate these costs by managing these responsibilities, offering a more cost-effective solution.

Eliminating Post-Incorporation Expenses

The financial obligations of setting up a legal entity in Switzerland extend beyond the incorporation stage. Businesses face ongoing costs such as corporate taxes, VAT, import/export obligations, and regular audits. Businesses can circumvent these costs by partnering with a Global EOR.

3. Mitigating Legal and Compliance Risks

Setting up a legal entity in Switzerland also presents a multitude of risks, including Permanent establishment risk, employee misclassification risk, and potential non-compliance with local labour, tax, and immigration laws and regulations. These risks can lead to penalties and damage the company's reputation. A Global EOR, with expertise in Swiss employment laws and regulations, can effectively manage these risks and ensure compliance.

The Strategic Advantage of a Global EOR in Switzerland

Partnering with a Global EOR provides a strategic solution for businesses planning to expand in Switzerland. The Global EOR simplifies employee onboarding, manages payroll, and takes care of all legal and compliance responsibilities, removing the need for a costly and time-consuming entity setup.

Streamlining Employee Onboarding and Payroll

As a Global EOR, Acumen International can manage the entire employee onboarding process and payroll in Switzerland. Acting as a local legal employer for your employees, they handle all legal and HR obligations, allowing you to focus on your core business.

Sponsoring Work Permits and Visas

Sending and employing expatriate personnel in Switzerland involves securing work permits and visas, another complex process that a Global EOR can handle. Acumen International can sponsor work permits and visas for your expatriate staff, ensuring a seamless transition into the Swiss market.

Maintaining Control Over Your Workforce in Switzerland

Despite Acumen International acting as the legal employer, your business maintains a substantive work relationship with your employees. You retain control over key decisions, including compensation, position duties, and termination.

Avoiding the Hassle of Entity Setup in Switzerland

The most significant advantage of partnering with a Global EOR is eliminating the need for setting up a legal entity in Switzerland. This process can be costly, time-consuming, and fraught with challenges. A Global EOR allows businesses to bypass this step, saving time and resources that can be better invested in strategic growth and business development.

The Takeaway

Choosing a Global EOR is a strategic imperative for businesses considering expansion into Switzerland. It provides a simpler, faster, and more efficient alternative to setting up a legal entity, enabling businesses to focus on their core operations, secure in the knowledge that experts handle their legal, HR, and tax compliance in Switzerland. It's the smarter choice for global expansion in Switzerland.
