The Challenge

The first weeks, sorted.

Boxes are unpacked — but bank, insurance and twenty other things still need doing.

The first weeks in Switzerland are the ones full of small admin: opening a bank account, registering with the commune, signing up for health insurance, setting up utilities, doing the entrance inspection of the new apartment. We work through that list with you so nothing slips, and so you can focus on starting your new life rather than chasing paperwork.

Guidance and accompaniment through the Swiss bank account opening process, ensuring you have the right account type and documentation.

03

Utilities & Insurance Setup

Connection of electricity, internet, and other utilities, plus coordination with insurance providers for health, household, and liability coverage.

Local Expertise

Challenges We Solve.

Geneva & Zurich

The Challenge

"Opening a bank account as a newcomer can involve significant paperwork and unexpected requirements."

How We Help

We prepare the full documentation package in advance and accompany you to the appointment, ensuring a smooth process.

Insurance Landscape

The Challenge

"Switzerland's mandatory health insurance system and the range of supplementary options can be overwhelming for newcomers."

How We Help

We connect you with trusted insurance advisors and help you understand the mandatory vs. optional coverage relevant to your situation.

Cultural Nuance

The Challenge

"Switzerland's linguistic and cultural diversity can feel isolating without a local 'bridge'."

Your Journey

How It Works.

1

We map the to-do list.

We sit down with you to go through what's outstanding — registrations, bank, insurance, utilities, schools — and put it in order.

2

Entrance inspection.

We do the 'etat des lieux d'entree' with you so any existing issues are documented and your deposit is protected on the way out.

3

Admin setup.

Bank account, utility connections, health insurance, commune registration, phone, internet — we book the appointments and come along where it helps.

4

We stay reachable.

For the first weeks, we're a phone call away for the small things that come up — the letter you don't understand, the form that needs signing.

Questions & Answers

Common Questions.

What is an entrance inspection and why does it matter? +

The 'etat des lieux d'entree' is a detailed checklist of your apartment's condition on move-in day. Doing it properly protects your deposit at the end of the lease — anything not noted now is on you later.

Can you help with health insurance? +

Yes. Switzerland's KVG/LAMal system has a lot of providers and tiers — we connect you with trusted insurance advisors who'll explain what's required and what's worth adding.

Do you include language lessons? +

Not directly, but we recommend reputable language schools and private tutors we trust, in your canton.
