Company formation in Nidwalden

Nidwalden pairs low taxes with a strong aviation cluster around Pilatus. We form your GmbH (from CHF 2'500) or AG (from CHF 3'500) and get the registrations done, working remotely.

The legal form determines liability, taxes and capital. We choose it together with you.

Nidwalden offers low taxes and is home to the Pilatus aircraft industry near Stans. We support Nidwalden SMEs and private clients with bookkeeping and tax returns, prepared remotely from our Wildegg office.
