Clarity for your
entrepreneurial
decisions.

The initial consultation is free and non-binding — 30 minutes, in person or by video. We check whether a mandate makes sense between us and tell you honestly if someone else fits better.

Neither. Heeb Consulting is an advisory boutique. We refer to lawyers, notaries and fiduciaries when their specialisation is needed. Our strength lies in structuring, strategy and coordination — and in bringing the right specialists together.

Yes, a significant part of our mandates are private individuals — typically in the context of relocation to Switzerland or referral to suitable fiduciary partners. However, we offer no investment or wealth advisory. For such topics, we refer to appropriately qualified specialists.

For urgent matters typically within a week. We deliberately take on only a limited number of mandates in parallel to maintain quality — so brief waiting times can occur for complex mandates.

Not strictly for formation itself. But: at least one authorised representative with Swiss residence is required under OR Art. 718. That can be a fiduciary, managing director or board member. We help find the right setup.

Rule of thumb: GmbH (minimum capital CHF 20,000) for small to medium ventures, AG (minimum capital CHF 100,000) when shares are traded, investors involved or international setup desired.

But: the choice depends strongly on tax location, shareholder structure and growth plans. We analyse this individually rather than working with blanket recommendations.

Pure GmbH formation: 2–4 weeks from notary engagement. With banking onboarding and CR entry, more like 4–6 weeks. When permits are required (financial services, regulated industries), significantly longer — up to 6 months.

As an EU/EFTA citizen, under the Free Movement Agreement you can obtain a B permit relatively easily, provided you have an employment contract or proof of self-employment. For non-employment residency, sufficient financial means and health insurance must be demonstrated.

With Swiss residency, your worldwide income and wealth become taxable in Switzerland (with exceptions for foreign real estate). Double taxation agreements prevent double taxation — but the right approach must be planned, especially in the transition year.

For high incomes, lump-sum taxation under cantonal rules may also be an option (provided no employment is exercised in Switzerland).

Not directly — but we refer to specialised relocation agencies we work well with. As needed, we coordinate the interface between authorities, agency and you.

Yes — before every mandate you receive a written offer with scope, timeline, fee model and ancillary costs. We don't start without your signature. You know exactly what to expect.

Hourly rates are not — they are calculated and transparent. The model can be negotiated: if a flat-fee mandate is possible, it's usually cheaper than hourly billing. For long-term sparring mandates, retainer models with reduced hourly rates are available.

We speak openly about problems. At every phase of the mandate there is opportunity to re-evaluate — and if necessary, terminate the mandate. For flat-fee mandates we proportionally refund undelivered services. But: in 95% of cases we find the right path together.
