Document background
The Company Registration Certificate is a fundamental document in Swiss business law, issued upon successful registration of a company with the Commercial Registry Office. It serves as official proof of a company's existence and compliance with Swiss registration requirements. This certificate is essential for various business activities, including opening bank accounts, applying for licenses, entering into contracts, and demonstrating legal status to stakeholders. The document is governed by the Swiss Code of Obligations and the Commercial Register Ordinance, containing key information such as company identification, legal form, registered office, share capital, and authorized signatories. It's particularly important for new businesses establishing themselves in Switzerland and existing companies requiring proof of their legal status for various transactions or regulatory compliance.
