The time factor in corporate files

In business, the legalised document is rarely an end in itself: it conditions an account opening, a signature, a registration. Every day counts — and Gulf or Asia consular circuits can eat two weeks if you learn the rules as you go. Our added value: knowing in advance the exact order (notary → cantonal chancellery → federal chancellery → embassy), each consulate's documentary requirements and their real timelines — so your counsel or bank gets a reliable date from day one.

For recurring needs — exporters, fiduciaries, law firms — we set up priority handling: an established channel, a single point of contact and corporate invoicing. Talk to us about your volumes.

Frequently asked questions

Can you obtain the commercial-register extract?
Yes — a fresh certified extract from the competent register, legalised straight after. You request nothing yourself.
Our articles run 40 pages — how is the price set?
The quote accounts for page count for certification and translation. For bulky documents, ask for a package quote — usually better than unit rates.
Do you work with fiduciaries and law firms?
Daily. Entity invoicing, multi-file tracking and priority timelines: we're built for legal and finance professionals.
The embassy wants a legalised commercial invoice — possible?
Yes — invoices, certificates of origin and export papers follow the consular circuit like any other piece. Tell us the country: we confirm the consulate's precise requirements.
