Given the complexities of working as a consultant in Switzerland as a foreigner, The Business Harbour has been instrumental in facilitating both my legal and administrative needs, saving me the time and worry of having to manage this directly. The Business Harbour was also extremely helpful in advising me on the legalities of working as a consultant for the UN, and other international and Swiss organizations, to ensure that I could remain on a C permit, and were happy to communicate with these organizations on my behalf, no matter how time-consuming. If you are looking for a personalized and professional service, I can highly recommend the Business Harbour. Teri Roberts |

The Business Harbour has been instrumental in the setting-up of our legal entity in Switzerland, first by hiring me through salary hosting as the Country Manager for the company, then facilitating the legal work with one of their trusted partners and ensuring the payroll for the newly created entity in Switzerland. The Business Harbour has always demonstrated agility, flexibility and “can do” attitude to find the best solution for my company and for me, personally, with the right attention to the quality and cost of the service required. I would strongly recommend Business Harbour as a business partner. Giuseppe Martelli |
