The canton in brief

Agriculture, forestry & fishing in the canton of Schwyz: what the register shows.

Farms are rarely entered in the commercial register (registration is only mandatory above a certain turnover): the companies listed here are therefore the most structured, often set up as an LLC or a corporation, with needs in machinery, insurance and fiduciary services.

This sector accounts for <1 % of companies classified in the canton of Schwyz, against <1 % across Switzerland. No recent registration has been recorded in the canton of Schwyz in this scope over the past 90 days.

Schwyz benefits from its proximity to Zurich and from its tax regime: the districts of Höfe and March (Pfäffikon, Wollerau, Lachen) concentrate financial companies, holdings and management head offices, while the interior of the canton remains industrial and touristic. Many companies here are domiciled with a fiduciary, which matters for prospecting.
