How to Create a Business
in Switzerland OR IN FRANCE

INSAM offers this seminar for all those who are thinking of creating their own enterprise in Switzerland or in France.

The seminar deals with the fundamental ingredients required for success in any start-up business, and goes into some detail on the particular rules, regulations and opportunities presented by Switzerland.

Particular issues covered in the seminar include:

the seven legal structures for enterprises available in Switzerland and the pros and cons of each; the (more limited) choice in France;
the specific steps that must be taken for each form;
work permits;
fiscal considerations;
working with banks and the authorities;
the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs;
the concept of an "unfair advantage";
realistic expectations in terms of investment of time and money, reward and time horizon;
methods of forecasting and measuring financial success and cash requirements;
what to do if you are successful;
growth with partners, including venture capitalists.

The seminar is directed by Roy Damary, President of INSAM, creator of entrepreneurship programmes at Robert Kennedy College and IFAGE, and an entrepreneur in his own right.  He regularly advises people as they start up businesses.
