Identify the right procedure

A new address does not always mean a new registered office municipality

Within the same municipality

The registered office municipality remains unchanged. The address change must be notified to the Commercial Register; it generally does not require an amendment to the articles if the full address is not stated in them.

To another municipality

For a corporation or LLC, transferring the registered office requires an amendment to the articles, a decision by the competent body and a public deed.

To another canton

The transfer also involves the new canton’s Commercial Register. We check the documents and signing requirements applicable to your file.

A clear scope

Your registered office change, supported throughout

We prepare the required documents and coordinate the notary and Commercial Register application. You receive the documents to review and sign.

Our Geneva team supports formalities throughout French-speaking Switzerland.

Send the information

The steps

From your new address to registration

1. Describe the change

Specify the company, current address, new address and desired date. State whether the municipality or canton changes.

2. Approve and sign

We prepare the relevant documents: application, power of attorney and, where needed, amended articles. Review them and follow the signing and return instructions.

3. Follow registration

The file is submitted to the Commercial Register. Timing depends on the file, signatures and authority processing; it is clarified during the discussion.

After moving, remember your other contacts

Commercial Register registration does not replace notification to other authorities and partners. Check, in particular, tax authorities, VAT, social insurance, insurers, banks and your contracts.

A change of canton may have tax consequences to examine separately. We can help identify the points to address.

Frequently asked questions

Changing registered office: your questions

Is a notary always required?

For a corporation or LLC transferring its registered office to another municipality, a notarised amendment to the articles is required. A simple address change within the same municipality generally does not require this, subject to the articles’ particular provisions.

Are Commercial Register fees included?

No. The CHF 490 excluding VAT package includes notary fees but not Commercial Register charges.

What information should I prepare?

Your company name, current address, new address and proposed moving date. We then specify any additional documents required.

How should I return signed documents?

Follow the instructions supplied with your file, particularly for any signature certification and posting of originals.

Does the Commercial Register inform every authority?

No. You must check and make the necessary notifications to the company’s other authorities and partners.

Can I also change the company name or purpose?

Tell us at the start so changes can be coordinated. Scope and fees will be specified according to the amendments requested.
