Structures we incorporate
The right Italian vehicle depends on your purpose:
- S.r.l. — the standard limited-liability company, minimum capital €10,000. The default choice for serious commercial operations.
- S.r.l.s. — simplified S.r.l., minimum capital €1, lower notary fees, suitable for early-stage or single-purpose vehicles.
- Sede secondaria (branch) — an Italian branch of your foreign parent, no separate legal personality. Best when you want a fiscal presence in Italy without a separate legal entity.
- Stabile organizzazione — the corporate-tax equivalent of a permanent establishment, often relevant for marketplace sellers who cross the substance threshold.
We assess the right path before we start, with attention to corporate-tax exposure, dividend repatriation, and substance requirements under the EU Anti-Tax-Avoidance Directives.
End-to-end timeline
Week 1: KYC, articles of association draft, notary appointment scheduled. Week 2: public deed signed. Week 3–4: Chamber of Commerce filing, VAT and social-security registrations, bank account opening. Week 5–6: full operational handover, first invoice cycle live.
After incorporation
Most clients keep us on for ongoing services — accounting, VAT compliance, payroll, audit. We are not a “company-formation house” that disappears after the deed: we are your accountants for the long term, which means the structure we incorporate is one we know how to maintain.
Foreign investors expanding operations into Italy, marketplace sellers consolidating EU inventory, multinationals opening an Italian commercial branch.
We are auditors and chartered accountants — incorporation is the start of an ongoing relationship, not a transactional one-off. The structure we set up is the structure we keep compliant for the next decade.
