Financial security & permit readiness

The security protects relevant worker claims within the statutory framework. It is a condition to address alongside the staffing permit and ongoing operations. The amount and form should be confirmed for the actual business before the application is finalized.

Official Swiss guidance describes amounts ranging from CHF 50,000 to CHF 150,000, depending on the relevant activity and circumstances. We confirm the calculation and any federal component with the applicable rules and authority. That security is separate from legal fees and normal operating capital.

The staff-leasing security requirement should not automatically be applied to a placement-only business. The distinction depends on the activity actually performed. If the company plans both services, the staff-leasing workstream must be addressed even if placement is the initial focus.

It can affect the applicable security requirements and the authority process. We establish the permitted direction and scope of the activity first, then confirm the financial evidence needed. A security arrangement cannot make prohibited inward staff leasing permissible.

The applicable framework permits specified forms of security subject to their conditions. We review the proposed instrument, issuer, wording, amount and beneficiary with the authority’s requirements in mind. A general bank letter should not be assumed to be an acceptable substitute.

Start early enough to allow provider review and authority acceptance before the regulated business launches. We coordinate the required evidence with the application schedule. Committing to an instrument before confirming its terms can create avoidable delays or amendment costs.

No. It is a separate financial commitment of the business. Our fee covers the agreed legal review and coordination. Official charges, provider charges and the funding or collateral needed for the security are identified separately in the project budget.

Yes. A readiness review can examine the existing file, identify missing evidence and test whether the documents describe a consistent operation. We prioritize the gaps affecting submission and distinguish essential corrections from optional improvements.

Issues can include unclear activity descriptions, missing responsible-person evidence, inconsistent contracts, unresolved premises or unsuitable security documents. The review checks the file against the actual authority requirements. We assign each missing item to an owner and identify the dependencies for submission.

The business must continue meeting the permit’s financial-security conditions. Growth, changes in activity or changes to an instrument can require review. We help identify the events to monitor so that an expiring or insufficient arrangement is addressed before it affects compliance.

Closure does not necessarily end the protected obligations immediately. Release depends on the applicable conditions, outstanding claims and authority process. The wind-down plan should address workers, records, permit notifications and the security rather than assume they all end on the same date.
