A sole proprietorship becomes a company by contributing its net assets as a contribution in kind; a GmbH becomes an AG by a conversion decided by its partners. Both need a notarial deed and, for contributions in kind, an auditor's confirmation.
A liquidation dissolves the company, calls its creditors in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce and closes it after the waiting period.
Good to know
- The registry's fees and the official gazette's publication fees are charged in addition by those authorities.
- The waiting period of a liquidation can be shortened to three months when a licensed auditor confirms that all debts are settled.
Can the company keep trading during the liquidation?
Only to wind up its business: the liquidators collect receivables, pay debts and sell assets.
Does a conversion change the company's number?
A GmbH converted into an AG keeps its identity; a sole proprietorship contributed to a new company gives rise to a new company.
