A friend of mine would like to expand his business in Switzerland, I would like to open an e-shop (plus IG page) here to sell his products.
I already have a 100% job in a completely unrelated field.
Can I do this legally? Do I have to ask permission from my current employer? Can I just register myself as self-employed and pay taxes on what I manage to sell?
- There are a few exceptions, but in general you need to be Swiss, a C permit holder or an EU citizen in order to have a right to establish a business.
- You need to consult your contract to see what restrictions they place on you.
