Employer-of-record and payroll service for foreign companies hiring in Switzerland

Is the demand real?

Foreign companies, especially US and UK tech and pharma firms, repeatedly want to hire one or two people in Switzerland without setting up a Swiss legal entity, which is slow and expensive. Swiss payroll, social-security registration, permit handling, and source-tax rules are genuinely complex, so these companies pay a recurring monthly fee per employee to offload it entirely. The buyer is a foreign HR or finance lead with budget, the contract is recurring per headcount, and switching costs are high once payroll is running. This is sticky, high-retention revenue.
