EXPANDING TO SWITZERLAND
Expand to Switzerland with Confidence
Access Financial is your expert in the Swiss market for recruitment businesses, companies seeking Employer of Record (EOR) services, and professionals looking to work in Switzerland. We offer end-to-end support that ensures compliance, predictable costs, and a smooth experience for your Swiss operations.
OUR SERVICES
Labour Leasing & Employer of Record (EOR)
Expand into Switzerland quickly and compliantly with our Labour Leasing/EOR service. As your legal Employer of Record, we hire your talent in Switzerland and handle all HR duties on your behalf. You face no entity setup or fixed costs – we take on all employment risks and administrative complexities for a truly hands-off experience. This solution is ideal for engaging contractors on temporary contracts or longer-term employees when you don’t have a Swiss entity. We also provide simplified billing support for permanent placements, making your recruitment expenses more efficient and compliant.
Permanent Placement Compliance Support
Placing permanent candidates in Switzerland requires strict compliance and proper licensing. Access Financial helps foreign recruitment agencies and companies navigate these rules. We ensure your permanent placements are done through fully compliant, licensed Swiss channels, shielding you from legal penalties. Our team takes care of Swiss VAT and tax obligations on your placement fees, resulting in predictable billing with no unexpected liabilities. With our support, you can focus on matching the best talent to roles while we handle the regulatory red tape. Our commitment to Swiss compliance makes us a reliable partner – reducing your risk, ensuring transparency, and facilitating confident expansion into the Swiss market.

Thomas McMann
Director, ARTO Life Sciences
Before partnering with Access Financial, our international expansion was a manual process of “Googling” and high legal fees.
Since day one, the team at Access has provided a ton of advice in areas that were completely new to us. They quickly became our main provider for non-UK placements because they always come out on top. Their response time is record-breaking, often getting us answers within the same day. This speed allows us to get contracts out the door without losing candidates to long wait times.
Katherine Miller
Head of Legal & Audit, La Fosse
Having worked in the tech and SAP staffing sector for 25 years, I have relied on Access Financial for almost that entire duration.
Navigating the complex landscape of international compliance and legal requirements is a major challenge, but Access Financial makes it manageable through their global expertise. We count on their extensive breadth of knowledge whenever we are providing services in different jurisdictions.
Rupert Bassi
Vice President & Co-Founder, Linksap
Partnering with Access Financial provided the necessary reassurance and scope to operate safely across Europe.
One of the most significant benefits was their unwavering commitment to compliance, which offered security to both our clients and our contractors in an environment often filled with misinformation. Unlike some providers who offered questionable incentives, Access Financial prioritized giving the right advice and maintained an “audit mentality” that our own accountants and lawyers truly valued.
