Shell companies

Sale of limited company (“AG”) and limited liability company (“GmbH”)

Shell companies possess no more assets. Therefore, they can be sold without mayor problems. Due to complex regulations and risks, experts (especially tax services) look at shell company trading with skepticism. The acquisition of a shell company can become soon too risky for an non-experienced buyer due to high risks and complexity. Numerous risks may appear only after years. The requirements of a buyer can in most cases fully be taken into consideration with the expertise of a reputable accounting company. Because we take care of the sold companies after sale in numerous cases, we prefer to solve any problems before the sale instead of burdening them to the purchaser. The companies all have minimal operating activities, a fixed-line telephone number and, in some cases, a homepage, and are therefore not regarded as fully liquidated shell companies under commercial law. For tax law purposes, different rules apply in some cases.

Currently we can offer you the following companies:

• argumentum Suisse AG (Date of incorporation: 22.06.2017, share capital CHF 100’000, price CHF 40’000 plus bank account of CHF 100’000; total CHF 140’000) In particular, authorization of personnel leasing at home and abroad.

• The name of the company and the excerpt from the commerical register www.zefix.ch must be disclosed
• Fully paid in equity
• Company has assets and a bank account with adequate liquidity
• No loans to shareholder or related parties
• The seller is the owner of the company and not merely an intermediary. Special care should be taken with intermediaries, especially if the relevant persons are not registered in the commercial register.
• Seller is registered in the commercial register with the selling company and the company for sale. He is therefore authorized to sign for both companies and thus personally liable for any social security.

Loans to shareholders are limited by commercial law and can result in heavy tax burden.
