Technological and digital developments often stand out as some of a company's most valuable assets. These assets, commonly known as intellectual property rights (IP), play a pivotal role in the international business landscape.

Startups are usually financed either through debt (via venture debt or convertible loans) or – more commonly – via equity capital. When raising equity, the fund raising is usually subject to a Swiss stamp duty unless there is an exception.

Swiss law stipulates that a corporation may only operate as long as it maintains positive equity. Once equity becomes negative and the company enters overindebtedness, the board of directors is generally obligated to notify the court of the overindebtedness.

By virtue of the law, shareholders (unlike members of the board of directors) have no duties of loyalty towards the company and are also not subject to any non-disclosure obligations. Accordingly, the shareholders' statutory rights to information and inspection - in order to protect the company and its business secrets - are limited by law.
