Opening a company in Italy

Setting up a company in Italy can be a tricky one. Unlike other EU member states, in Italy the notary plays a major role in the establishment of a company. According to Italian law, it is necessary to appoint a notary to legalize the company's articles of association (which are issued in the form of a "public act") and the articles of association. The signature and seal of a notary are required for the establishment of any type of company, regardless of its type. This applies in particular to companies that are generally governed by Italian law, such as Società di Capitali on Limited Liability Companies (Società a Responsabilità Limitata) and On Joint Stock Companies (Società per Azioni or S.p.A). In other types of companies, namely those in which the obligations and privileges of the enterprise are not separated from the personal obligations and privileges of their members, there is no need to appoint a notary in order to establish them. A typical example of these companies is a sole proprietorship (called Ditta Individuale in Italian). Generally speaking, for the establishment of these types of legal entities, one of its participants must be a resident of Italy.
