At Swissential SA, we have one simple mission: To empower you to ask the important questions and make the right decisions. We specialise in helping you understand the rights, entitlements and opportunities unique to Switzerland.

Being based in Switzerland is a unique opportunity to achieve your objectives, goals and ambitions. Our role is to support you to achieve these milestones by ensuring that you understand the tools that are available and helping you implement them strategically and effectively.

Our approach has been developed over numerous years of advising people from different nationalities, age group, industries in Switzerland. We have learned to tailor our advice to your personal circumstances by actively listening. This means you walk away with what you actually need.

Our mantra is simple: Always start with the basics as these are essentials. Imagine you are in the process of building your own house. Would you start with picking the type of flooring you want before having built the foundations? More often than not, individuals have the right intentions but simply not the know-how to optimize their situation. The majority of professionals we meet are looking for simple solutions that fit their individual or family circumstances – solutions that protect their income, their savings and their loved ones, whilst providing consistent growth over the long term.

We provide essential Financial Planning advise to individuals and families that have either recently moved to Switzerland, currently live in Switzerland or intend to leave the country soon. We can’t make you rich – all we can do is show you how you can make yourself wealthier by having a Financial Plan and executing it on a consistent basis.

Once we have helped you make sure the foundations are in place, our Consultants will assist with other areas of financial planning, including Portfolio Management, Investment Advice or International Pension Management. It is important for individuals or families that have accumulated assets, whether domestically or aboard, to be correctly informed of the options available to protect their savings, mitigate taxes and achieve growth over the mid to long term.

The Internet provides a Wealth of information on these topics, but can be a double-edged sword for those who lack the full framework within to structure the information available.
