A Swiss Trust Company is a dormant Swiss corporation, either an SA (Société Anonyme) or AG (Aktiengesellschaft), that has been purchased from its original owner and reinstated. The buyer receives a tax and liability release certificate and takes over operation of the entity.

A “seasoned” Swiss company has an original incorporation date that remains intact providing increased levels of goodwill, prestige, and marketability. This can be very valuable when merging operations into an existing Swiss company, when added to an investment company or offshore bank structure, or when justifying transactions with the company that might be questioned if it was a newly formed entity created at the time of the transfer.
