SBBS Ep 6 Digital tools and tech
for entrepreneurs in Switzerland

The Swiss Biz Builder Sessions – episode #6

12 February 2026

Digital Tools: Staying Sane, Secure & Swiss-Compliant in a Fast-Changing Digital World.

Tech overwhelm is one of the first things new founders experience — and one of the fastest ways to lose clarity.

Suddenly, you’re told you need accounting software, payment providers, hosting, cloud storage, contracts, project management tools, and “the right stack” — ideally before you’ve even sent your first invoice.

In this episode of the Swiss Biz Builder Sessions, we take the pressure off.

This is not about building the perfect tech stack.
It’s about building a calm, compliant, and flexible digital setup that works in Switzerland, fits your current stage, and can evolve as your business grows.

Together, Libby O’Loghlin and Susan Platt walk you through the Swiss digital landscape — from accounting and payments to hosting, legal tools, and document organisation — with one guiding principle throughout:

Structure before software.

• Payment methods are about trust and familiarity, not trends

• Hosting location and data jurisdiction matter more in Switzerland than many founders realise

• Most founders don’t have a tool problem — they have a structure problem
