The basics of Italian business law
The corporate law in Italy is firmly rooted in the civil justice system, regulating everything from the creation and management of companies to mergers, acquisitions and litigation. As in other jurisdictions within the Italian law, such as criminal law and contract law, thorough knowledge of local laws is crucial. This is especially true for business owners facing complex regulations and obligations.
The legal form of your business
One of the first steps in doing business in Italy is choosing the right legal form for your company. Italian law offers several options, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common forms are:
- S.p.A. (Società per Azioni): This is similar to a limited liability company (NV) in the Netherlands and is suitable for larger companies.
- S.R.L. (Società a Responsabilità Limitata): The Italian version of the limited liability company (BV), ideal for small to medium-sized businesses.
- Sole proprietorship: For self-employed entrepreneurs who want to start easily.
Our lawyers will be happy to help you choose the right legal form and establish your company in Italy. This will prevent legal problems in the future and ensure that your company meets all legal requirements.
