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.
