Swiss open data · Zefix

How Navor puts Swiss open company data to work.

Navor uses Zefix, the Central Business Name Index, to find active companies during setup and verify Swiss UIDs for fiduciaries. This page shows how that official information is used in the product—and what the register cannot establish.

Registry pulse · 5 to 11 July 2026

One week of newly published Swiss registrations.

Official exchange rates

Historical exchange rates for documents and payments in different currencies.

Swiss VAT amounts in foreign currencies must be converted into francs. Article 45 of the VAT Ordinance allows the FTA monthly average or daily selling rate. The chosen method must be kept for at least one tax period.

Navor currently uses daily rates delivered through the federal BAZG service and stores them internally by date. If a document and its bank transaction use different currencies, Navor retrieves the historical rate and calculates the CHF amount used for matching and accounting.

Method and provenance

How we prepared the weekly view.

The charts were prepared from official Zefix and Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce publication records. They illustrate the source used by Navor and do not replace the official dataset.

01 · Collect

Define the publication window.

We collected the new-registration publications released from Sunday 5 July through Saturday 11 July 2026.

02 · Visualize

Show the totals and cite the sources.

The page shows separate canton and legal-form totals. It does not republish entity profiles or combine the distributions into a company-level dataset.

Interpretation note: a new-registration publication does not necessarily mean that a new commercial company was founded. The total also includes newly registered branches and non-commercial legal forms.

Clear company identity data makes the accounting built on it easier to trust.
