Registered Office & Business Domiciliation in Switzerland - Geneva
Every company in Switzerland must have a registered office (“siège social”) where official correspondence, legal notifications, and tax communications are delivered. For many entrepreneurs, start-ups, and growing SMEs, renting an office is not always necessary. A domiciliation service offers a compliant, professional alternative, provided it is carried out with rigor and full respect of Swiss regulations.
At DHAC, our approach is neutral, transparent, and focused on legal compliance and administrative continuity.
This service can also be seamlessly combined with bookkeeping, tax filings and the preparation of financial statements, ensuring a unified and consistent administrative setup.
When is a domiciliation service needed?
Many entrepreneurs and SMEs choose domiciliation when they do not require dedicated office space, work remotely, or prefer not to use their private address for confidentiality reasons. It also becomes relevant when a business is growing and needs a reliable and consistent way to manage official correspondence.
A well-structured domiciliation service ensures that nothing is missed, no tax reminders, no administrative delays and that the company maintains a stable, professional presence in Geneva.
Swiss legal framework (neutral overview)
Swiss law requires every company to maintain a valid registered office (“siège social”) where authorities can send official notifications and legal documents. This address must be accessible and supported by a formal agreement between the company and the service provider.
Domiciliation also involves regulatory obligations such as AML/KYC checks and proper handling of incoming mail. Choosing a compliant and reputable partner is therefore essential to avoid administrative or legal issues.
Challenges commonly faced by entrepreneurs and SMEs
As companies grow, administrative complexity increases. Entrepreneurs often struggle to keep track of official letters, deadlines, and regulatory communications, especially when the business operates remotely or across several locations.
Concerns about confidentiality, data protection, and the credibility of the company’s address also play a significant role. A trusted domiciliation service provides clarity, continuity, and peace of mind so founders can focus on running their business.
Our domiciliation service (neutral, compliance-driven)
DHAC provides a secure and fully compliant registered office in Geneva, ensuring professional handling of all official correspondence. Incoming mail is received daily, scanned, and archived through a secure document management application, with notifications sent when important documents arrive.
This approach guarantees traceability, confidentiality, and seamless access to your administrative information. It can also be combined with bookkeeping, tax filings and the preparation of financial statements, ensuring a unified and consistent administrative setup.
What our service is not.
Reputation and Transparency are essential. DHAC does not provide anonymous structures, shell companies, or virtual addresses without real substance. Every client undergoes AML/KYC verification, and we only support companies with legitimate and compliant activity.
This clear positioning distinguishes our service from low-cost providers and reinforces the credibility of your business.
How the domiciliation works , a simple and structured process
The process begins with the domiciliation contract and the required regulatory checks. Once approved, your registered office is activated and you may update the address with the Commercial Register, tax authorities, and partners.
From there, we manage your official correspondence on a daily basis: receiving, scanning, archiving, notifying, and, if required, forwarding it. The workflow is designed to ensure continuity and avoid missed deadlines.
Who is this service for?
This solution is particularly suited to entrepreneurs establishing a new company in Switzerland, SME owners working remotely, and international founders seeking a credible presence in Geneva.
It is also ideal for directors who value confidentiality and wish to centralise their administrative obligations within a single, reliable framework.
It is equally relevant for companies that are dissatisfied with their current provider and are looking for a more digital, transparent and structured approach, including real-time access to their documents and official correspondence.
