I would like to share with you that I recently encountered a situation where I urgently needed to open a company in Europe. While searching for a solution, I came across the concept of a Shell company Switzerland - an already registered but inactive company ready to be transferred to a new owner. This would allow you to avoid lengthy registration procedures and immediately start doing business. However, after delving into the topic, I learned that new laws came into force in Switzerland on January 1, 2025, restricting the transfer of shares in such companies if they do not conduct real activities or have debts. Maybe it will be useful to someone.
