In total, more than 700 informative pages are now available in English. Directors and employees of SME can find information on the creation and management of a company, finances, labor laws, import and export, etc. Marketing, training, management of personnel, new technologies or corporate social responsibility of companies are topics that are also discussed in the English version of the site.
In addition to practical information, the SME portal offers some quantitative data and articles on the various initiatives of the Confederation in favor of Small and Medium-size Enterprises. An address book and interesting publications for entrepreneurs complete that offer.
For English-speaking SME managers already based in Switzerland or foreigners wishing to set up a business there, the English version of the portal provides easy access to information essential for entrepreneurship. With this new version, the number of annual visitors of the SME portal should increase further from the 1.8 million in 2017.
