Notary & corporate law

Notarial coordination in Switzerland

Corporate documents, notarisation and Commercial Register filing – carefully prepared and centrally coordinated.

A company formation or corporate-law change requires precise documents, legally compliant notarisation and a complete filing with the competent Commercial Register. Alpine Capital coordinates these steps together with an established Swiss notary partner and accompanies you throughout the process.

Central coordination

Notarial coordination – managed through one point of contact

For a company formation or corporate-law change, documents must not only be prepared correctly but also coordinated in time, notarised where required and filed completely with the competent Commercial Register.

Alpine Capital prepares the required corporate documents internally, clarifies open points with the client and coordinates the further process directly with a Swiss notary integrated into our established workflow. After notarisation, we accompany the Commercial Register filing and remain the central point of contact for authority follow-up questions.

This creates short communication lines and a clearly structured process. Clients do not have to find a notary themselves or coordinate several unrelated service providers. This reduces administrative effort and helps avoid unnecessary delays.

Formation of an Aktiengesellschaft (AG)

Formation of a Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH)

Capital increase or reduction

Amendment of articles of association

Change of corporate purpose

Change of company name

Transfer of registered office

Conversion or restructuring of a company

Merger or demerger

Dissolution or liquidation

Certification of signatures and corporate documents

Other Commercial Register and corporate-law matters

Established cooperation

Established cooperation instead of unnecessary interfaces

In corporate-law matters, delays often arise not from notarisation itself but from incomplete documents, unclear responsibilities or long coordination paths between advisers, clients, notaries, banks and authorities.

Alpine Capital connects these participants in a coordinated process. We prepare the documents carefully, align the next steps and help ensure that all participants receive the required information in time. This central coordination creates a significant organisational advantage, particularly for international founders and more complex ownership structures.

International founders

Also for international founders

Foreign founders do not have to coordinate every step of preparing a Swiss company personally on site. Alpine Capital clarifies early which documents, identification evidence, powers of attorney, certifications or translations are required and which steps can be completed in person or remotely.

Actual requirements may vary depending on country of origin, corporate structure, notary, bank and competent Commercial Register. Each matter is therefore reviewed individually.
