The SSBB modules provide clarity about where to focus your energy in each area, and how to break big tasks down into smaller, more manageable ones, so you can get ahead. They also flag potential pitfalls for the non-Swiss entrepreneur.

Get Informed

So you’ve had this really cool business idea for a while now, but the thought of starting something new, in a foreign country where everything is in a bunch of different languages, no less, just seems too daunting?

Well, it’s high-time to take the bull (or in this case, cow) by the horns and find out that setting up shop in Switzerland really is not that complicated or hard.

Get Organised

What gets measured gets managed and what gets scheduled, gets done. And, let’s face it, magic can only happen, when stuff gets done.

However, for many people, getting their administrational ducks in a row can seem to be an insurmountable task.

But armed with the right tools and a little routine, you’ll see that getting organised CAN be easy, breezy, Swiss-Gruyère-cheesy.

Get Going

Getting started may seem like the hardest bit, but in reality running a successful business of any size requires constant and continued care to adapt to the ever changing business landscape.

With the right training methods, you’ll learn how to make sure you and your business stay on track for the long haul.

After months of frustration trying to update and expand my WordPress based website cswilde.com, Susan came to my rescue.  Before I knew it, she had moved the site to my own server here in Switzerland, installed a shiny new template and all the plugins in the world I wanted. I was deeply impressed with the speed and quality of the process. She really knows her stuff and even jumped in and helped tighten security after the site came under attack. Awesome service, which I can highly recommend.

Susan injected a good dose of her Swiss Biz acumen into our online cultural magazine The Woolf and its associated Writecon workshops. She helped us get established as an association under Swiss law, setting up an official bank account and finally moving and relaunching the online magazine. I am thrilled to have her on board and look forward to our continued collaboration.

Susan was instrumental with getting SwissPaleo.ch off the ground. Not only did she create a logo and visual identity for the brand that absolutely nailed the look and feel I had envisioned, but also set up the web presence from domain registration to hosting and WP theme selection to installing all the necessary plugins. She understood what I wanted and translated it into a fully fledged brand and site ready for me to dive into and grow! Thank you!

I was looking for an easy and fast solution for my new website. Something I could update by myself, without any programing knowledge but still have the look I wanted. Susan swiftly created an easy go to solution for me. I can now update my website on my own without the hassle of programing and it looks professional.
