Guides

Start by finding the right Swiss companies, then use company changes to choose the right time to call. These guides explain both steps, starting with the public registers.

Build a Swiss target market

Build a Swiss B2B prospect list from a sales brief. Define your ICP, estimate the market and review company matches with a real manufacturing example.

Qualify a Swiss prospect list against your sales brief. Review real company matches, diagnose false positives and check which valid prospects are missing.

Compare Swiss address lists by source, freshness and usable company records. Check a sample and the outreach rules before paying for a larger file.

Wire a reviewed list of Swiss companies into the stack you already run: a tokenised JSON feed, a CSV of the same rows, the fit reasons, and the pagination code.

How many Swiss companies match your ideal customer profile? Walk one ICP from the whole commercial register down to a working list, and see what each filter costs you.

Three good customers, one method for turning them into a Swiss prospect list. Why register purposes and industry codes both fail at it, and how to test the list you get.

Roughly 80,000 to 100,000 of the 229,000 active Swiss companies sell primarily to businesses. How 10,064 audience labels get there, and what the estimate assumes.

Build a Swiss employer prospect list for permanent recruitment: define your territory, check company fit and turn a weekly review into relevant conversations.

Keep target accounts current

Capital increases, leadership changes, trademark filings, hiring: nine changes Swiss public records publish, what each one establishes, what it leaves open, and how long it lasts.

A capital increase records that shareholders committed money, and when. This guide explains the mechanics and what triggers one, including the cases that mean the opposite of growth.

A public change is weak evidence on a stranger and a reason to call an account you already lost. Which Swiss register events reverse which loss reasons, and what to write.

A weekly employer review for Swiss recruitment agencies: combine live vacancies and company changes, verify sources and decide when to reconnect.

Understand Swiss company data

The Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce publishes company changes daily. This guide shows salespeople what to look for, what each entry type means, and how to turn it into a call list.

All ten Zefix PublicREST endpoints, the Basic credentials every one of them requires, the two UID formats, how EHRA ID relates to UID, and the daily gazette feed most integrations miss.

amtsblattportal.ch/api/v1/publications: the mandatory parameters, the one the server ignores, how HR XML is structured, and how to build a daily ingest that survives corrections.

Use this method yourself, or let Prospex apply it to your target market.
