Foundation of a Limited Partnership (KmG)
The limited partnership plays only a minor role in Switzerland. It is suitable for small businesses with a strong focus on individuals. It often arises when a general partnership wants to expand its financing base. However, it is advisable to draw up a partnership agreement. The rights and obligations of a KmG are defined in Art. 594 - 619 of the Swiss Code of Obligations.
| Seed Capital | No seed capital needed, but foundation fees will be charged. |
|---|---|
| Liability | Variable between general partners and limited partners. |
| Company Name | Must contain the suffix "KmG" |
| Number of Founders | At least one natural person plus one natural person and one legal entity |
| Taxes | No separate tax return. Each partner declares his/her participation in profit and assets in the private tax return |
| VAT Liability | Mandatory for annual sales of CHF 100'000 or more |
