Incorporation
Zug is friendly to business
When establishing a company, the primary question invariably centers on the most appropriate legal form.
The most frequently-chosen legal form is either that of a limited corporation (in German, "Aktiengesellschaft " or "AG") or a limited liability company (in German, "Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung" or "GmbH").
The brochure "Guide to setting up a business in Canton Zug" explains the formation procedure. The brochure "zug : doing business" deals with the following subjects:
- Pre-conditions for setting up a company
- Legal form
- Registration procedure
- Start-up costs
- Time requirements.
