Why Liechtenstein?

Private wealth and family

The Personenrechtgesellschaft framework gives families foundations, Stiftungs, Anstalts, and Trusts under a single Persons and Companies Act, with full asset protection.

Persons and Companies Act (PGR) in force since 1926Foundation supervision by the FMATreaty network including Germany, UK, Switzerland

IP holding companies

Liechtenstein's IP Box regime taxes qualifying IP income at 2.5%, one of the lowest rates in the EEA, with OECD nexus compliance.

Asset managers and funds

AIFMD and UCITS passports via EEA membership, plus FMA supervision aligned with FINMA practice, attract managers serving European and Swiss clients.

Considerations

Operational scale ups

Liechtenstein has fewer than 40,000 residents. Hiring, office space, and infrastructure scale better in Zurich, Vienna, or Munich for operational businesses.

Population below 40,000Limited local talent poolHigh cost of living for hires
→ Switzerland Larger neighbour with comparable regime→ Luxembourg EU passport with deeper service ecosystem→ Malta EU base with English language

Cost sensitive founders

Minimum tax of CHF 1,800, mandatory FMA registered service provider, and bilingual filings drive compliance costs above most EU jurisdictions.
