SME policy

Excessive bureaucracy slows down companies. Switzerland is trying to reduce administrative burden through a series of initiatives.

The Swiss authorities are establishing online services to make it possible for SMEs to perform their administrative tasks more efficiently.

The Confederation actively supports innovation in companies through Innosuisse, the Swiss innovation agency.

Would you like to establish a company or develop an SME, but are you lacking the necessary capital? The Confederation facilitates access to financing.

The center of excellence in internationalization, Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE) is committed to helping SMEs increase their sales abroad.

Selling your products overseas is not without risk. Swiss Export Risk Insurance (SERV) offers SMEs helpful protection.

Swiss SMEs need a qualified labour force. The Confederation works to strongly promote apprenticeships and continuing professional development.

Taking family needs into account benefits companies. The Confederation encourages flexibility in personnel management within SMEs.
