Swiss company database
The 22 industries are starting points, not guaranteed delivery volumes. Name cantons and the contact fields you need; we confirm the available scope for exactly that combination.
Our database: 1,005,992 records (as of 4 November 2026), including all 796,383 active entities in the commercial register; the legal notices of company websites are being collected. Export of a whole industry from CHF 219.
Before selecting, check which industry and regional attributes your system can store. Keep the NOGA code and the industry label separate; an industry name is not a unique company key.
Define cantons, municipalities or language regions as rules, not as a wish list. What counts is the registered address in the source, not the area a company serves.
Agree mandatory fields so that the later import does not have to invent values or overwrite existing data without checks. The UID is the most reliable field for matching.
Choose an industry
Each industry page explains which NOGA codes belong to it, which public registers exist in the industry and which information a list does not contain.
Process
Three steps. You commit to nothing in advance: first you see scope, reference date, delivery date and price, then you decide.
Name the industry or activity, the cantons, municipalities or language regions you want and the contact fields every record should contain. Help with defining it: NOGA 2008 – industry codes for target group lists.
We state the number of records after filters, the available columns, the reference date, the delivery date and the price. All prices are final prices in CHF.
You receive the export as a UTF-8 CSV, on request as XLSX or JSON, as a one-off without a subscription.
Regional selection
We derive canton, municipality and language region from the business address. Selection is available for all 26 cantons; official figures per canton are on the page Businesses by canton.

Company data from other countries: EU and other markets.
Official statistics count 649,353 businesses in Switzerland for 2024 (FSO, Statistics on the structure of businesses (STATENT) 2024); the figure per industry is on each card.

As a UTF-8 CSV with semicolons as separators, on request as an Excel file (XLSX) or JSON. The 16 columns and a sample file with fictitious companies are on the export page.
So far from two public sources: the commercial register (Zefix via LINDAS, open government data of the Federal Commercial Registry Office) and the open places data of Overture Maps (Places, licence CDLA Permissive 2.0); planned are the legal notices on company websites, OpenStreetMap, open data from cantons and federal offices and individual look-ups in the FSO UID register. The commercial register is public (Art. 936 Code of Obligations); the Federal Commercial Registry Office publishes its entries as open government data. We never fill an empty field with an estimate. Details: data sources and methodology.
In Switzerland, mass advertising by email requires prior consent, also towards businesses (Art. 3 para. 1 let. o UWG); a list contains no consent. Sales calls are allowed to numbers listed in the telephone directory without the asterisk marking; unlisted numbers are treated like numbers with an asterisk (let. u). Direct mail is allowed without consent.
The data is therefore suited to direct mail, CRM matching and market analysis; the phone numbers are not checked against the asterisk marking and are not intended for sales calls. More: B2B marketing in Switzerland. The legal review of your campaign is your responsibility.
Yes. We derive canton, municipality and language region from the business address. The postcode is a column of the export that you can sort and filter yourself. What counts is the registered address of the company, not the area it serves.
In Zefix you look up individual companies free of charge; phone numbers, websites and industry codes are not in the commercial register. Telephone directories are meant for look-ups and often prohibit copying into address databases. A company list brings the details together in one table. What is public: Commercial register, Zefix and UID.
Describe whom you want to reach. We suggest a definition and state scope and price; selection by NOGA codes is planned once the records carry a NOGA code.
