A resident director for
your Swiss company.
A Swiss Sàrl or SA must be represented by at least one person domiciled in Switzerland (art. 718 / 814 CO). A Swiss-certified accountant takes on that statutory role — a real mandate with a defined scope and D&O insurance, not an offshore nominee.
A statutory mandate, handled with real rigor.
Klear satisfies your company's legal requirement for a resident representative — with the accountability of a Swiss-certified accountant, not a name on paper.
Statutory representation
Klear acts as the director/manager domiciled in Switzerland that your Sàrl or SA needs to satisfy art. 718 para. 4 / 814 para. 3 CO — the requirement that lets the company be entered and kept in the commercial register.
- Registered as director/manager with signatory power
- Swiss-certified accountant (Expert-comptable diplômé)
- Domiciled in Geneva, Switzerland
A defined scope — not a nominee
This is a real statutory mandate with real liability (art. 754 / 827 CO, art. 52 LAVS), bounded by a clear contract and covered by directors' & officers' (D&O) insurance. You keep full operational control of your business.
- Contractually defined responsibilities
- D&O liability insurance included
- KYC / AML check on founders (LBA compliance)

Frequently asked questions
Swiss law (art. 814 para. 3 CO for a Sàrl/LLC, art. 718 para. 4 CO for an SA) requires that a company can be represented by at least one person domiciled in Switzerland. Without one, the company cannot be entered — or kept — in the commercial register.
No. Klear is represented by a Swiss-certified accountant who genuinely takes on the statutory role, within a contractually defined scope and covered by directors' & officers' insurance. You retain full operational control of your company. This is not an offshore nominee arrangement.
Pricing is bespoke: a director mandate carries real liability, so the fee depends on your company's structure (Sàrl or SA), sector, and risk profile. We set it transparently with you during a first, no-commitment call.
No. The resident-director mandate covers the statutory role (representation, official mail, signature, D&O insurance). Bookkeeping, VAT and tax are a complementary Klear service — often bundled so you have a single contact, but billed separately.
