Resident director · Switzerland
A Swiss Sàrl or SA must be represented by at least one person domiciled in Switzerland (art. 718 / 814 CO). A Swiss CPA takes on that statutory role: a real mandate with a defined scope and professional indemnity cover, not an offshore nominee.
Our offer
Klear satisfies your company's legal requirement for a resident representative, with the accountability of a Swiss CPA, not a name on paper.
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.
This is a real statutory mandate with real liability (art. 754 / 827 CO, art. 52 LAVS), bounded by a clear contract and covered by our professional indemnity insurance, extended to statutory mandates. You keep full operational control of your business.
Set everything up from abroad: online identification, electronic signature, fully remote coordination. This is exactly the situation of founders established outside Switzerland.
A company that needs a resident director also needs bookkeeping, VAT and tax. Bundle them with Klear and get a single point of contact, plus an up-to-date dashboard.
FAQ
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 CPA who genuinely takes on the statutory role, within a contractually defined scope and covered by our professional indemnity insurance, extended to statutory mandates. 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, professional indemnity cover for the mandate). Bookkeeping, VAT and tax are a complementary Klear service, often bundled so you have a single contact, but billed separately.
No. Everything is handled remotely: identification, electronic signature, online coordination. It is precisely designed for founders established abroad.
