Swiss Business Launchpad
Stepping into Self- Employment
FREE INITIAL CALLCoaching and Practical Guidance for Starting a Business in Switzerland
Freedom needs structure
Many people start a business because they’re looking for more freedom.
They only realise later that things have become tighter, not looser - not because they set things up badly. But because, early on, almost all attention goes into the business.
Health gets pushed back. Time with family and friends comes later — if there’s any time left.
The business may be running well. And yet everyday life starts to feel narrower than expected.
This is where Swiss Business Launchpad comes in.
It covers the formal and organisational steps of setting up a business. And it gives you space to think through how those early decisions will shape your working life — and everything around it.

Who This Offer Is for
Swiss Business Launchpad is designed for professionals who are actively preparing or building their self-employment in Switzerland.
You already have a concrete business idea and are now dealing with the first formal, organisational, and practical steps of setting up your business.
When This Is Not the Right Fit
Swiss Business Launchpad is not intended for people who are still deciding whether self-employment is the right path for them, or who are at a very early, exploratory stage.
If you are primarily looking for inspiration, brainstorming, or help generating business ideas, a different, more preparatory format will be more appropriate.
About Me
I work with people who are at the start of self-employment in Switzerland.
I bring experience from intercultural coaching, running a business, and working with international clients.
My focus is on administrative clarity, while also making space to think through decisions, responsibility, and the personal questions involved in becoming self-employed.”
