Health and social work: medical practices set up as companies, clinics, laboratories, care homes and home-help services. The incorporation of practices and their grouping into medical centres feed a steady flow of new registrations, of interest to equipment suppliers, insurers and specialised fiduciaries.

This sector accounts for 3 % of companies classified in the canton of Schwyz, against 4 % across Switzerland. 3 companies in health and social care were registered in the canton of Schwyz over the past 30 days, 9 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.
