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 on salary administration and HR needs, she then created the salary hosting company in 2009 and brought to companies and consultant an elegant solution combining the best of both worlds in a ‘in-between’ position.

Authorization to practice

We have the Geneva Cantonal Employment Office and State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) authorizations to practice salary hosting. These authorizations are a necessary mark of quality, compliance and expertise in salary hosting.

Why us?

In a nutshell…

We are a team of human resources experts serving companies and consultants. Our expertise covers a whole range, from payrolling through managerial training, with career transition as a link.

The career transition support is based on decades of business experience facilitating the taking on of new responsibilities as well as the transition from the corporate world to consulting. We have innovative monitoring tools with high added value.
