Lecture: How to Start Your Own Business in Switzerland

Are you dreaming of starting your own business in Switzerland but are not sure where to start?

Many people with S status face the same questions:

When do I need to register my activity? What documents should I submit? Can I work as a freelancer, or is it better to create a company or an association? How can I avoid fines and legal problems?

To help you find clear answers and take your first confident steps, we are organising a practical lecture on the basics of entrepreneurship in Switzerland. 

During the session, you will learn:

 • What “economic activity” means in Switzerland

 • The difference between occasional income and entrepreneurship

 • What legal forms of business exist and how to register them

 • How to report correctly to social services and reply to document requests

 • Real stories from entrepreneurs — common mistakes and how to avoid them

💬 Speaker: Karina Pavlova — entrepreneur and translator with over 10 years of experience working with small and medium-sized businesses.
