Overview

Professional coordination of foundation & family wealth structuring for businesses, investors and private clients with a genuine Swiss requirement.

Coutts Consultants establishes the client's objectives, ownership, activities, canton and cross-border facts before identifying the appropriate route.

Switzerland combines federal law with important cantonal requirements, so the engagement is scoped to the actual location and activity rather than sold as a generic national package. We coordinate with Federal Supervisory Authority for Foundations / Swiss legal and tax professionals and, where required, appropriately qualified Swiss legal, tax, audit, immigration or regulated specialists.

Any registration, licence, tax treatment, permit or bank account remains subject to the competent authority or independent provider.
