Selecting the right account type at amnis as a sole proprietorship

In Switzerland, sole proprietorships can either be registered in the commercial register or operate without registration. The onboarding process at amnis depends on your registration status:

  • Registered sole proprietorships: If your business is entered in the commercial register and has a VAT (UID) number, select the "Business account" option during onboarding. Under the question "What is the legal form of your company?", choose "Individual enterprise".

  • Unregistered sole proprietorships: If your business is not registered in the commercial register, you should onboard as a private individual by selecting the "Private account" option.

Keeping private and business expenses separate

As a sole proprietor, keeping your personal and business finances separate is essential for efficient bookkeeping and clear financial management. With amnis, you can easily achieve this by creating two separate accounts: one for your business activities and another for personal use.

Each account can have its own dedicated debit card, enabling you to distinctly manage business and private expenses and reduce administrative hassle.

How to set up two accounts in amnis:

  1. Create your business account: Complete the standard amnis onboarding process to set up your company account first. How? Navigate to the dedicated amnis bexio-registration page and register with your bexio login credentials.

    1. If your business is not registered in the commercial register and you’re opening a private account for your company, we recommend adding a unique identifier (e.g., your company name) to the account name. This will help you easily distinguish between your private and business accounts.

  2. Add a second account: Once the first account is set up, click on the "Add company" option in the upper-right corner menu of your amnis account. This will guide you through the onboarding process for the second, private account.

  3. Switch conveniently: Both accounts will then be linked to the same email address, allowing you to easily switch between them with just a click.

By using this setup, you can monitor cash flow, manage budgets, and analyse business performance without mixing personal spending. The flexibility of amnis allows you to customise your setup to match your unique needs as a sole proprietor.
