Setup costs

At 16.50 CHF/m²/month (FSO 2024), a 90 m² retail space costs around 1’485 CHF per month excluding charges. The canton’s average municipal tax multiplier is 87.3 % (2025) — it varies widely between municipalities, and that gap feeds straight through to the bottom line. It is not comparable across cantons: each canton applies its multiplier to its own tax base.
