I am currently self-employed in a EU country and would like to start a self-employed business in CH. I am currently already in the CH within the allowed period that does not require a permit.
But in what order should I approach this? It seems a bit of a chicken-and-egg dependency between those:
1. The sole proprietorship business registration in CH.
2. The permit B for EU request.
3. A living address in CH.
Application for permit B (selbstandig=self-employed) as EU citizen requires to mention the employer in the CH.
But the employer is myself, so must I then register my business first? Can I register a business without being a CH resident?
No chicken and egg situation. Clearly described here:

Thanks. However, if I start filling the online form for SG kanton, I must fill in a company (Arbeitgeber) with company name (Name des Betriebes) already and I feel stuck in a chicken-egg situation. You suggest I go through the local authorities instead?
