with (business) operations in Geneva
another one, not to be too specific if any doubt as activité économique can be broader than business, so just "operations" could be enough

with an office in Geneva
I wonder if this is going too far away from the French? It's probably what they mean though!
3 hrs
have a business in Geneva
that is all it means..and this is the simplest way of putting it...
faire des affaires would be "to do business"
this phrase suggests they have some sort of legally registered business activity...

although it may only mean \'\'doing business in Geneva\"..
