@steckerhalter Thanks @kensanata !

This is cool write up. What you describe there is how mostly an typical association works (no wonder since most civil laws in Europe are based on #BGB and some on the Swiss later #ZGB).

But I think that is one interesting feature of a Swiss setup: If I understand correctly they get their legal persona the moment those three founders agree to those fundamental items on a coffee table. Many other European countries require some kind of registration for that.
