When must a new Swiss company report its beneficial owners?

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

The federal Transparency Register started operating on 1 October 2026, and companies must report their beneficial owners within the legal deadlines and keep the data current. For a newly registered company, plan on reporting within about one month of the commercial register entry (confirm with your specialist).
