What are the rules for a Swiss GmbH name?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

The name must include the legal form, GmbH, and must not duplicate a name already in the commercial register. Search Zefix, the central business name index, before you choose. We check your three options there before the notary drafts the deed.
