Why Patremote

Break free from bureaucracy

Imagine how much time would you save if taxes were perfected to the last cent; if you could focus just on your business. Using Patremote, you can perfect your monthly tax deduction and maximize your productivity.

If you work as a self-employed person in Switzerland, you only have the option to register as self-employed with the compensation office. Thereby you have to be settling the AHV contributions yourself.

Many freelancers who often work for the same client are therefore confronted with a considerable administrative burden and are also left to their own devices for their pension fund and in case of unemployment, illness or accident. These insurances must be taken out separately with an insurance provider and are very costly. We're here to change that. 

You focus on becoming the next best business; we'll make sure everything is legal and sorted out. Signed-up freelancers can register their clients and send them invoices. For each project, they receive an employment contract and their wages from us.

Pension fund  The Swiss system of retirement provision consists of three pillars.
