Agency agreement for Switzerland: what and why
An agency or distribution agreement appoints a local company abroad to import, register or sell your products. Many countries require it to be registered with a ministry before the agent can act, and they accept it only once legalised. The agency or distribution agreement is executed between your Indian company and the foreign agent, signed by your authorised signatory.
Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.
Companies dealing with Switzerland are most often asked for a legalised agency agreement during registering a commercial agent or distributor, as well as for product registration by the local agent and exclusive territory appointments.
A agency agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Switzerland accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
