Everything that matters about SA incorporation for medical practices in Brunegg
Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around SA incorporation in Brunegg, every SME draws its own line. The reference points below — federal law, cantonal practice and lessons from the field — help you place the cursor well.
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.
On the SA incorporation side, the first financial year may be longer or shorter than a calendar year: choosing the first closing date wisely avoids a pointless mini-closing.
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.
A business in Brunegg that crosses the threshold mid-year must register without delay: retroactive registration with interest always costs more than signing up on time.
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 Brunegg.
An often underestimated point: self-employed status is granted by the compensation office — or not. Whoever invoices essentially one main client risks requalification as an employee, with contribution arrears charged to the principal. Clarifying AHV status before starting avoids that trap.
The Swiss legal frame for SA incorporation
In Switzerland, the duty to keep accounts stems from art. 957 ff. of the Code of Obligations. Legal entities (Sàrl, SA) and sole proprietorships with at least CHF 500,000 in revenue keep full accounts: balance sheet, income statement and notes. Below that threshold, a simplified record of income, expenses and assets is sufficient.
The law also settles the form: accounts may be kept in a national language or in English, on paper or electronically (art. 957a para. 5 CO). That pragmatism lets SA incorporation run entirely on digital tools — no paper binder is required.
Brunegg: what changes, what does not
Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in Brunegg: the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Aargau.
Brunegg requires no special bookkeeping: the Code of Obligations applies at postal code 5505 as everywhere else, and a well-kept digital file transfers smoothly to any auditor in the canton.

Which social contributions does a Swiss employer pay?
AHV/IV/APG: 5.3% employer share (the same is withheld from the employee); unemployment insurance: 1.1% each up to CHF 148,200 a year; occupational pension (LPP) by age and plan (employer at least 50%); occupational accident insurance paid by the employer; family allowances by canton. For an employer in Brunegg, family allowances follow the canton's rates.
Which documents should be prepared for the year-end closing?
Bank and cash statements at the closing date, the inventory of stock and work in progress, final AHV/LPP/accident settlements, contracts signed or amended during the year, invoices straddling two years and the detail of accruals. With an up-to-date document archive, most of it is already there. The list is identical in Brunegg: the CO dictates it, not the commune.
Can SA incorporation be automated with AI?
Largely, yes: automatic document reading, posting suggestions, bank reconciliation via QR references and VAT exports. Human approval remains essential — AI prepares, the professional checks. That is exactly how MyFiducia.ai approaches SA incorporation.
