How to Operate a
Company in Italy

International experience

Opening a company in Italy

Setting up a company in Italy requires choosing the correct legal structure, completing notarial procedures, and registering with the Italian authorities. We guide foreign businesses through every step — from entity selection to the first day of operations — ensuring full compliance with Italian corporate and tax regulations.

 

Tax obligations for foreign companies

Foreign companies operating in Italy must comply with VAT rules, corporate tax requirements, social security obligations, and periodic filings. We help you understand what applies to your business, manage deadlines, and maintain full compliance with Italian tax authorities.

Hiring employees in Italy

Employment in Italy is regulated by national labour laws and Collective Bargaining Agreements (CCNL). We support you with employment contracts, payroll setup, social contributions, and ongoing HR compliance — ensuring your team operates within the correct legal framework.

Accounting requirements

Italian accounting standards require precise bookkeeping, statutory financial statements, and periodic reporting. We manage your accounting obligations, coordinate with your headquarters, and ensure your Italian entity meets all regulatory requirements.

How we manage your administration

We act as your local administrative partner in Italy, handling accounting, payroll, tax filings, corporate compliance, and operational procedures. With one point of contact, your company can operate smoothly without building an internal administrative structure.
