The Situation

Borobotics was originally an LLC (GmbH), fully owned by its Founders. As they prepared for their Seed Round, investors required a conversion to an Ltd (AG) to move forward. Under Swiss law, this meant increasing the share capital to CHF 100K (with at least CHF 50K paid in at incorporation), restructuring finances, and aligning with stricter corporate governance—while ensuring the founders retained control.

Our Approach

🛠️ Smart Structuring & Negotiation

1.  Swiss Law Compliance: Structured the CHF 100K share capital increase, required for Ltd (AG) status, without personal reinvestment.

2.  Financing Round Strategy: Aligned investor terms with founder-friendly equity protection.

3.  Balance Sheet Optimization: Ensured financials met legal and investor requirements.

4.  Negotiations & Execution: Led deal structuring & legal work to secure a smooth transition.

The Impact

✅ Growth, Investment & Founder Control

1.  Successful conversion to Ltd (AG), unlocking professional investment.

2.  Founders retained majority control, with smart structuring.

3.  No unexpected tax or legal pitfalls, thanks to expert planning.

Investor-backed growth requires smart structuring. By combining legal expertise, financial strategy, and negotiations, we converted Borobotics into an Ltd (AG), aligning it with investor expectations while keeping founders in control.

"Alfred guided us through a complex transition with clarity and confidence. Their expertise ensured we got investor buy-in while keeping control of our company." Moritz Pill, CFO, Borobotics AG
