WHO WE ARE
The Business Harbour
A human journey since 1999
Creation
Our salary hosting company, The Business Harbour Sàrl, was born of the experience of our Director, Gina Empson. Since 1999, she was running her own accounting firm with a growing salary administration department. Listening to her customers needs, she understood the flexibility that the market place was asking. With her deep knowledge of salary administration and HR needs, she then created the salary hosting company in 2009 and brought to companies and consultants an elegant solution combining the best of both worlds in a ‘go-between’ position.
Since 2022, Gina has passed on the keys of The Business Harbour to new owners Michael and Wanda Bender who continue the mission with renewed fervour.
Authorisation to practice
