Company Formation in Italy
Setting up a company in Italy provides access to one of Europe’s largest markets. Whether launching a new entity, expanding existing operations, or opening a branch, we manage every step of the incorporation process.
Italy offers a range of legal structures for foreign investors — from limited liability companies (SRL) to joint-stock companies (SPA) and partnerships.
Types of Companies
- Società a Responsabilità Limitata (SRL) — limited liability company, suitable for small and medium enterprises
- Società a Responsabilità Limitata Semplificata (SRLS) — simplified LLC for small entrepreneurs, with reduced incorporation costs and streamlined requirements
- Società per Azioni (SPA) — joint-stock company, suited to larger enterprises or those raising capital publicly
- Branch or Representative Office — for foreign companies establishing a presence without a separate legal entity
- Partnerships and Sole Proprietorships — simpler structures often used by small businesses or freelancers
