At Knotted, we believe that relocation is never just about a new address—it’s about rebuilding a life, a business, and often a legacy. And we know that this journey can’t be done alone. That’s why we work hand in hand with a trusted network of professionals: lawyers, tax advisors, real estate agents, private bankers, trustees, asset managers and family offices. Together, we form a flexible and responsive ecosystem that supports every step of the expat journey to Switzerland.
This article is for you—if you are a professional working with international clients, and you’re looking for a reliable partner on the ground in Ticino.

What We Actually Do
Knotted is more than a relocation agency. We support high-net-worth individuals and families who are considering or planning a move to Switzerland—especially the Ticino region—by offering integrated services that cover:
Residence permits and immigration strategy
Company relocation and business setup
Real estate search and acquisition
Tax structuring and wealth planning
Private banking, insurance and asset protection
Family support, school onboarding and lifestyle integration
Our clients are often introduced by professionals they already trust—like you.
Whether you’re an Italian lawyer with clients thinking about leaving Italy, a Swiss asset manager with foreign clients needing residency, or a real estate agent with a buyer looking for local support beyond the property—Knotted steps in with local expertise, discretion, and a focus on results.
Who Are Our Ideal Partners?
We collaborate with people who share our mindset: independent, competent, client-centric. Our best partners tend to be:
Lawyers and notaries who assist clients in cross-border succession, international tax matters, or relocation-related restructuring.
Wealth managers, private bankers and family officers whose clients are thinking about moving to Switzerland or need a regulated structure here.
Immigration consultants and tax advisors outside Switzerland who want a local counterpart they can trust.
Real estate agents who work with expats or foreign buyers and need to offer broader support.
Trustees and insurance experts looking to structure wealth protection for mobile families.
We’re not looking to “take over” your client—quite the opposite. We aim to enhance the experience and make you look good.
How We Collaborate
Each partnership is different, and we adapt to your workflow and your client’s needs. Some professionals bring us in early—as strategic advisors during the decision-making process. Others involve us later, once a relocation decision is already made, and practical steps need to be taken.
Sometimes we work under your brand; other times, we’re introduced as a third-party partner. You decide what’s best.
Our support can be:
Behind the scenes (you remain the client’s main point of contact)
Joint delivery (we co-manage a case)
Full handover (you pass the client to us and we take care of everything)
In every scenario, we guarantee transparency, confidentiality, and a commitment to excellence.
Why Knotted, and Why Now?
The number of international families and professionals relocating to Switzerland is growing steadily. From Italian entrepreneurs seeking more fiscal stability, to remote workers looking for quality of life, to families relocating for school or safety—this is a long-term trend.
Ticino is increasingly attractive: it offers Swiss safety and reputation, but with cultural proximity to Italy and cost structures that are often more reasonable than Zurich or Geneva.
As interest grows, so does the demand for competent, honest and personalized support. That’s where we come in—and where we invite you to collaborate with us.
Let’s Build Something Together
We are not just service providers. We are long-term partners. And we believe that by working together, we can offer international clients something truly valuable: peace of mind, clarity, and a seamless transition into a new life.
