Choice legal form

How to find the optimal legal form for your company?

Not every legal form suits every business and entrepreneur.
Here is important information to help you choose the ideal legal form that best suits your business.

Criteria that can be taken into consideration when making a decision:

  • Liability/Risk
    Those who want to bear less business risk financially limit this by forming a corporation.
  • Capital
    Foundation costs, prescribed minimum capital vary depending on the legal form.
  • Taxes
    Depending on the legal form, income and assets from the business are taxed separately or together. 

The most common legal forms in Liechtenstein are: 

  • Single proprietorship
  • Aktiengesellschaft (AG)
  • Limited liability company (GmbH)
