SA incorporation for dental practices in Spreitenbach: the practical guide
SA incorporation for dental practices in Spreitenbach rests on three pillars: federal law that applies across Switzerland, cantonal deadlines worth knowing, and tools that eliminate re-keying. This guide puts it all in order, fact by fact.
Choosing the structure: Sàrl, SA or sole proprietorship
Chronologically, incorporation follows a precise thread: choose the form and the company name, pay the capital into an escrow account (Sàrl/SA), notarised deed, entry in the commercial register, then AHV affiliation and the VAT check. The Confederation's online desk (EasyGov) walks founders through these steps.
Incorporating in Spreitenbach opens the same toolbox: banks, funds, fiduciaries and online tools work everywhere — the choice of seat is strategic, not technical, for SA incorporation.
Digitalising SA incorporation: what actually works
The classic digitalisation traps are avoidable: scanning without quality control (unreadable records), stacking disconnected tools (double entry in disguise), or neglecting access rights. One single flow from document to entry, with clear roles, beats five shiny apps.
Electronic archiving is fully recognised: Swiss bookkeeping regulation admits electronic retention of records provided integrity and readability are guaranteed for the 10 years of art. 958f CO. A paper binder is no longer an obligation — provided the archiving system is serious.
Swiss VAT: rates, threshold and filings
Registration happens with the Federal Tax Administration and yields a VAT number based on the business identifier (format CHE-xxx.xxx.xxx VAT). From then on, every invoice must state that number, the rate applied and the tax amount — three details SA incorporation should lock down from day one to avoid retroactive fixes.
The right reflex for SA incorporation: file every supplier invoice with its VAT on receipt. Forgotten input VAT is money definitively lost once the limitation period runs out.
Salaries and social contributions: the rates to know
A Swiss salary reads in three columns: gross, employee social deductions, employer contributions. Confusing them distorts cost prices — and quotes from businesses in Spreitenbach.
A thirteenth salary, where agreed, is accrued month by month — forget it and December reveals a charge of one-twelfth of the payroll, in Spreitenbach as everywhere.
Spreitenbach: what changes, what does not
Spreitenbach (postal code 8957, canton Aargau) applies the same federal rules as the rest of the country: what changes in Spreitenbach are the cantonal counterparts — tax administration, compensation office, commercial register.
Spreitenbach requires no special bookkeeping: the Code of Obligations applies at postal code 8957 as everywhere else, and a well-kept digital file transfers smoothly to any auditor in the canton.
Frequently asked questions
How long must records related to SA incorporation be kept?
Ten years from the end of the financial year concerned (art. 958f CO). Electronic retention is permitted if the integrity and readability of the records are guaranteed — a serious digital archive validly replaces paper binders. A business in Spreitenbach can therefore archive fully digitally.
What is the difference between a limited and an ordinary audit?
The ordinary audit applies to companies exceeding, for two consecutive years, two of three thresholds: CHF 20 million balance sheet total, CHF 40 million revenue, 250 full-time positions. Others fall under the limited audit, and those with no more than ten full-time positions on annual average can opt out with all shareholders' consent. These federal thresholds do not depend on the registered seat — in Spreitenbach as anywhere.
