Are you planning to establish an GmbH in Switzerland? Company Incorporation The safety net of a GmbH: The liability regulation The question of liability is an essential consideration when choosing the legal form of a company. With a GmbH, liability is limited to the company’s capital – a key feature that makes a GmbH so attractive to company founders. How does liability work with a GmbH? The designation “limited liability company” applies to the company’s shareholders. This means that your financial risk is limited to your share capital contribution. However, the GmbH itself has unlimited liability for its obligations. Since the share capital must be paid in full when a GmbH is founded, there is no personal liability on the part of the shareholders. This regulation gives you, as a shareholder, the necessary security to drive your company forward with full commitment. Are there exceptions? In certain cases, the articles of association may stipulate so-called additional and ancillary contribution obligations. These can only be considered in order to cover balance sheet losses, to enable the proper continuation of business or in cases specified in the articles of association. In such cases, they may not exceed twice the nominal value of your ordinary share (Art. 795 OR). Book a free initial consultation with our experts.
