How to protect your assets
under Swiss jurisdiction

 
Any monies and assets that you have earned during your lifetime you obviously want to see protected from creditors' groundless claims and bankruptcy proceedings (UNIKOM: naturally, without making any attempts to cheat creditors, and in the absence of a fraudulent conveyance!).
In addition, due to economical and political instability in your country of residence, you may wish to protect your assets by keeping them under Swiss jurisdiction.
 
Switzerland remains today what it has always been – the premier financial destination for international investments. This is why many of our clients, who are people of significant wealth, consider Switzerland as a key element in their investment strategy, and why they are interested in family foundations and personal holding structures, which enable them having a portion of their assets “live” in Switzerland.
 
 Why to invest in
 family foundation in Switzerland
 
By creating a family foundation you can place your assets outside your estate, outside the reach of creditors, judgments, malpractice and divorce.
 
A family foundation (Stiftung) is a separate legal entity, privately funded by you by dedicating funds and assets (real estate, enterprises, etc.) for a specific purpose, for instance:
contributing to a charitable cause
organizing insurance and pension plans for your family members
providing continuing employment and activity for your family members
identifying and preserving your family name for years to come
 
It is most common in Switzerland to organize pension funds and other welfare schemes of corporations in the form of the foundation. In accordance with Swiss law, this specific type of foundations is exempt from taxation.
 
The officers of the foundation have, in principle, no decision-making power, only an executive function, in accordance with a will of the founder.
 
 Why to invest in
 holding structure in Switzerland
 
As being an owner of Swiss holding company, you in person are not a bank client, and, respectively you are out of battles between foreign governments and Swiss banks.
For the purpose of asset protection, we at UNIKOM assist you in setting up a Swiss holding company, while you contribute your money and assets (those which can be valued, i.e. stocks, bonds, shares, precious metals and stones, real estate, etc.) in the company's capital.
 
Once contributed, all these assets, as before, may be controlled and managed by you, as being the owner and managing director of a Swiss holding company; at the same time, the assets are held in the name of a Swiss holding company (i.e. separate legal entity) and therefore, are free from any claims directed against you in person.
 
Needless to say that holding companies in Switzerland benefit from reductions in corporate income tax at both cantonal and federal levels. We at UNIKOM provide personalized assistance in obtaining tax rulings for your holding company.
 
By using our knowledge of Swiss and international business law, we develop family foundations and international holding structures to guarantee the anonymity of our clients, thus preventing illegal attempts depriving of their property and unlawful actions against our clients and their families.
We at UNIKOM welcome the opportunity to explore with you the world of Swiss financial security and protection of your assets from creditors and bankruptcy.

What is the
Asset Protection
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Asset protection is defined as pre-litigation planning to deter lawsuits and promote settlements. The primary goal of asset protection is to bring closure to potential litigation with as little disruption to your business and with as little loss of your wealth as possible.
