The
authorities here are service-oriented, highly efficient, and exemplary in
their interactions with the business world. This is one of the reasons why
numerous international companies choose to relocate to Zug. Set up an enterprise
here, and you couldn’t be in better company. 
Among
the core strengths of this business location are its internationality,
stability (the canton has enjoyed stable, liberally conservative
government for decades) and quality of education (boasting, among
other things, three international schools.) The canton of Zug has some 112,000 inhabitants from 128 different nations. There are 29,650 companies domiciled here, generating almost 83,000 jobs. Moreover, Zug offers high quality of life, a diverse cultural scene, a wide range of local leisure and recreational activities, and a central location (just 25 minutes from Lucerne and Zurich, and 45 minutes from Zurich Airport). In other words, Zug is the perfect place for staff and their families to live.
A study by Credit Suisse in 2011 revealed again that the canton of Zug scores well above the Swiss average, and also far ahead of the next-ranked canton of Zurich, in terms of five key factors for choice of location – namely taxes for legal and natural persons, availability of highly-skilled labor, transport connections, and the educational level of the population.
Here is a voice from the business world:
“What I value about Zug
as a location for industry is the un-bureaucratic and flexible support of
the authorities, the low taxes, the high quality of life, the central position,
the high-level international schools, and the attractive labor market.”
