The canton in brief

Agriculture, forestry & fishing in the canton of Zurich: 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 Zurich, against <1 % across Switzerland. 0 companies in agriculture, forestry and fishing were registered in the canton of Zurich over the past 30 days, 3 over 90 days.

Zurich is the country's leading economic hub: a financial centre (banks, insurance, wealth management), home to the headquarters of international groups, IT and fintech around the ETH, and precision industry in the Oberland and the Limmattal. The density of fiduciaries, law firms and agencies is the highest in Switzerland, and the Zurich commercial register is by far the most active for both new registrations and amendments.
