Economic data · French-speaking Switzerland
The Romandie business observatory
94% of the Romandie's businesses are LLCs (Sàrl), Ltds (SA) or sole proprietorships.
Sole proprietorships are counted from their entry in the commercial register (Zefix); many self-employed people under CHF 100,000 of turnover are not listed.
Is your company paying too much tax?
In French-speaking Switzerland, 2026 profit tax ranges from about 12% in Valais to 16% in Jura. On top of that comes your company's structure: a good salary/dividend balance and optimised pension planning can clearly reduce the burden.

Methodology & sources
