Digital commercial register entries: NZZ acquires stake in Hoop
Moneyhouse, the NZZ’s online portal for commercial register and business information, will soon enable users to incorporate companies digitally and make changes to the commercial register. This is made possible through a partnership with the software developer Hoop, in which the NZZ has acquired a minority stake.
Hoop, a subsidiary of the Swiss software company Abacus, has developed the first solution with which company formation in the commercial register and changes to it can be processed completely digitally. In collaboration with NZZ, these services will be available directly via Moneyhouse from 2025. The functions are available to existing companies, founders, fiduciary offices and law firms and notary's offices.
"Moneyhouse is the first portal in Switzerland where commercial register information can be accessed and simultaneously entered and amended paperlessly," says Patrik Widmann, Head of Moneyhouse at NZZ. "With this innovation, we are establishing a new level of digital service for our users."
The partnership is intended to reduce the bureaucratic effort involved in setting up a company and speed up the process. The implementation of the new services is planned for the first half of 2025.
