    Habe eine GmbH eröffnet und diesen seltsamen Brief erhalten, ist er echt?

    Liebe Schweiz,

    Ich habe kürzlich eine GmbH eröffnet und diesen Brief erhalten. Wie der Titel schon sagt, bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob das etwas Echtes ist. Muss ich wirklich etwas damit zu tun haben? Ich habe noch nie zuvor von dieser Firma gehört und es scheint eher lückenhaft zu sein.

      Yes it is. You need to fill the form out and pay a fee, if you own a copy machine.

      It’s not a scam per se — it’s simply a grey area attempt to new Business Owners to get them pay Services that are absolutely nothing worth. So Don’t pay it.

      if you make a hr (handelsregister) register for your business you get man „sketchy“ mail for everything – from searchengine listening to abo for weekly coffee etc

      Real. You can ignore it like i did and you‘ll get the same letter as eingeschrieben.

      Annoying, but real. I have a company with 10 employees (which seems to be part of their calculations for how much you owe) and the bill was 48 CHF.

      This is Switzerland. Things that were meant for 19th century companies, but still followed in 21st century..

      yes you’ve to pay but usually not much..

      Do some research online, with ai models etc how to pay as less as possible. Fill their form online. Complete the process. If you don’t pay now and ignore it, you may have to pay a lot more later.. they will send you the max possible bill.. then you get a lawyer and get messed up

      Unfortunately it’s legit. They are basically the „Serafe of photocopiers and printers“.

      If your company is in one of the sectors which is „free up to 14 employees“ (see [this document](https://prolitteris.ch/wp_update2020/wp-content/uploads/gemeinsamer_tarif_8_2023-2027.pdf), page 6) then you don’t have to pay anything.

      So, just make sure that your **self-declaration** of the sector is correct, if your company falls into one of the free sectors!

      Also, to make it worth your while you can for example self-publish a book (e.g. print on demand) – maybe titled „Why i f…ing hate ProLitteris fees!!!“ (a little hommage to [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiOTKjXZaYI)) – or a website (IIRC you need to include some counter pixel thingy) and [register yourself](https://prolitteris.ch/urheber-verlage/registrierung-bei-prolitteris/) with ProLitteri~~ng~~is as an author of copyrighted works and thus receive some monies back from them.
