In Switzerland, the requirements for many sectors are minimised. Most professions can be practised without regulatory requirements. The federal government requires a licence and appropriate training in the healthcare, teaching and social professions. Depending on the canton, requirements must be met in the areas of «Transport, architecture or the judicial professions». Otherwise, there is a very liberal economic policy that gives everyone the chance to try their luck in the market.

Whatever your business model looks like, remember to carry out a thorough market analysis, draw up a well-thought-out business plan, choose the right legal form for your company and, last but not least, protect your intellectual property.
