The canton in brief

Arts, culture & leisure in the canton of Schwyz: what the register shows.

Arts, culture and leisure: gyms, clubs, festivals, galleries, studios. A sector of small structures and associations, where the registered companies are the most professionalised and therefore the most worth approaching.

This sector accounts for 2 % of companies classified in the canton of Schwyz, against 2 % across Switzerland. 2 companies in arts, culture and leisure were registered in the canton of Schwyz over the past 30 days, 5 over 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.
