What our clients and employees say about us:
It's been a real pleasure working with The Business Harbour! Our discussions have always been very pleasant. The team is very responsive and has always been able to provide answers to my questions. I would recommend The Business Harbour without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable and professional freelance administration company.
As a foreigner in Switzerland, there are a number of complexities you have to master in order to work as a consultant. The Business Harbour has been instrumental in facilitating the legal and administrative processes, saving me the valuable time and hassle of having to deal with this directly. The Business Harbour was also extremely helpful in advising me on the legal aspects of working as a consultant for the UN and other international and Swiss organisations, and ensuring that I could keep my C permit. The Business Harbour team were able to communicate with these organisations on my behalf, without taking up any of their time. If you are looking for a personal and professional service, I highly recommend The Business Harbour.

The Business Harbour played a key role in setting up our legal entity in Switzerland, firstly by hiring me on a freelance basis as Country Manager for the company, then by facilitating the legal work with one of their trusted partners and then by providing the payroll for the newly created entity in Switzerland. The Business Harbour has always shown agility, flexibility and a 'can do' attitude to finding the best solution for my business and me personally, with particular attention to the quality and cost of their service. I would highly recommend The Business Harbour as a business partner. My gratitude goes to the team for their warm welcome and their attention to both human and professional aspects.
The Business Harbour offers a high-level service in terms of professionalism and reliability. A perfect combination of expertise and responsiveness, with a very human touch. Highly recommended! The Business Harbour a toujours fait preuve d’agilité, de flexibilité et d’une attitude « can do » pour trouver la meilleure solution pour mon entreprise et pour moi personnellement, avec une attention particulière à la qualité et au coût de leur service. Je recommande vivement The Business Harbour en tant que partenaire commercial. My gratitude goes to the team for their warm welcome and their attention to both human and professional aspects.
I'm grateful to The Business Harbour team for giving me the opportunity to work as a freelancer. I have now rejoined the company that initially used my services as a freelancer. Thank you to The Business Harbour team for their availability and kindness.
Over and above the first-class service, what I particularly appreciated about The Business Harbour was their individualised support and the very personal touch to our interactions.
In the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, The Business Harbour gave me the opportunity to carry out an assignment while remaining an employee. It was a real springboard for joining the company internally.
In the past, I'd had the opportunity to work with a Lausanne-based company as a consultant. As I didn't want to be a freelancer, I looked for an alternative. I didn't know anything about freelance administration at the time.
