Foreword - the UNIESTRO spirit
UNIESTRO is more than just a company; it is a modern business brand that combines traditional consulting with a technologically autonomous future.
It stands for loyalty, precision, efficiency, personalised service and an uncompromising attitude towards quality, legal compliance and client benefits.
At a time when traditional law firms are slow, impersonal and inflexible, UNIESTRO embodies a new generation of consulting and business enterprises.
Origin & years of construction (2016–2020)
IB Suisse (2016–2017) – The foundation of a modern ecosystem
Its roots go back to IB Suisse Verwaltung AG and IB Suisse Broker AG, two strong pillars of an innovative franchising system.
After the investors withdrew and the franchising was dissolved in 2017, three entities remained, which formed the basis for later development:
- IB Suisse Verwaltung AG
- IB Suisse Broker AG
- IB Suisse Payment GmbH
They secured jobs, expertise and the vision of a new consulting model.
UNIESTRO has its origins in the ‘IB SUISSE’ franchise, when IB Suisse Verwaltung AG and IB Suisse Broker AG were founded in 2016.
Start of management consulting (2018–2019)
In 2018, IB Suisse Verwaltung AG launched subscription models for administrative work, start-ups, fiduciary services and marketing – an early precursor to today's UNIESTRO service architecture.
Brand change in 2019 – admify AG
In 2019, IB Suisse became admify AG (‘administration for you’).
Even then, there was heavy investment in software development – the first sign that UNIESTRO would one day become a tech company.
The turning point – the creation of UNIESTRO (2020–2021)
Pandemic & strategic realignment (2020)
The pandemic called everything into question. admify transformed itself into a digital service platform. At the same time, client demand remained high, a sign that something bigger had to emerge.
The birth of UNIESTRO (2021)
Following a strategic decision by the then holding company (MATRAG Mati und Traber AG), the operating company was renamed Uniestro AG, without anyone realising at the time how significant this step would be.
On 1 January 2021, UNIESTRO officially launched as a management consultancy with a clear mission:
To redefine consulting.
To modernise structures.
To strengthen clients.
Years of growth & challenges (2021–2023)
Rapid growth
Revenues doubled annually, and the team grew to over 10 employees and more than 30 external experts. A separate in-house unit was created for fiduciary services.
Large mandates & cluster risk (2022)
A major project taught UNIESTRO how to deal with peak loads, responsibility and risk – an important experience for later scaling.
Attacks & fire sale (2022–2023)
After massive attacks by two former partners, the ‘UNIESTRO’ brand and its inventory had to be sold – a difficult but decisive moment.
The new era – reconstruction & expansion (2024–2025)
Reconstruction 2024 – UNIESTRO 2.0
The relaunch took place on 1 January 2024 with the new strategic headquarters in Baar (ZG) and an agency in Zurich.
2024 became the most significant year in the organisation's history, a year full of innovation, internationalisation and pronounced technological ambition.
