Challenges Foreign Investors Face


Switzerland
still faces some challenges in business concerning its institutional framework and economic environment. This includes stifling bureaucracy in the public sector, trade barriers in certain sectors, lack of mutual recognition of foreign standards, a half-heartedly liberalised domestic goods market, and still far too many difficulties in hiring qualified foreign labour. However these are challenges to be overcome and the key to this is research. Before setting up a business in Switzerland, research your chosen location, your target audience and potential growth of your chosen market.
