The canton in brief

Hospitality (hotels & restaurants) in the canton of Schwyz: what the register shows.

Hospitality and catering see the fastest turnover in the register: takeovers of establishments, new LLCs with every opening, frequent liquidations. Contacting an establishment as soon as it registers, before it has chosen its suppliers, makes all the difference.

This sector accounts for 4 % of companies classified in the canton of Schwyz, against 5 % across Switzerland. 5 companies in hospitality 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.
