How it works
How working together works
Four clear steps, all online, with one professional from the first call to your first tax return.
- 01
Strategy consultation
A 45-minute video call (€150) to choose the right structure — SRL, SRLS or a VAT number — and estimate your costs and taxes. The fee is credited toward your setup fee.
- 02
Written quote and engagement
You receive a written quote listing every fee and third-party cost, and a simple engagement letter to sign online.
- 03
Identity check and documents
Online identity verification, as Italian anti-money-laundering law requires, then we prepare the Codice Fiscale and bilingual company documents.
- 04
Incorporation and setup
Notary deed, Business Register, VAT number, PEC email, e-invoicing and accounting — ready for your first invoice.
Prices
Clear prices: a one-time setup, then a monthly plan
Professional fees are shown in full. Third-party costs — notary and government charges — are listed separately, so you know your real total before you start.
