Step 1 — Provide your details

About 2–4 minutes.

Company type

S.r.l. is more flexible (bylaws/custom clauses). S.r.l.s. is simplified but has constraints and is not suitable for all cases.

Share capital (EUR)

€

Capital impacts governance choices and may affect bank onboarding and notary work. (This tool uses it as a complexity signal.)

Number of shareholders

More shareholders usually means more KYC checks and more documents to collect.

Any foreign individual shareholders?

If yes, additional identity verification and (sometimes) translations/legalisation may apply.

Any non-EU/EEA individuals?

Non-EU documentation often requires apostille/legalisation and sworn translations (depending on country).

Is any director non-EU/EEA?

If yes, expect enhanced bank and compliance checks (and potentially longer banking onboarding times).

Any corporate shareholder (company)?

Corporate shareholders require corporate documents (register excerpt, bylaws), signatory powers and UBO identification.

Is at least one director resident in Italy?

If no, expect more checks and sometimes a remote signing/power-of-attorney workflow.

Need remote signing (no one can attend in person)?

Remote signing may require a Power of Attorney (PoA) and additional formalities.

VAT registration needed immediately?

If yes, we include VAT-related setup steps in the compliance checklist.

Need a registered office service?

If you do not have an Italian address for the registered seat, a registered office service may be required.

Bank account onboarding support?

Banks have internal compliance requirements; onboarding time varies.

Urgency level

Fast-track may increase professional workload (document chasing, scheduling) but cannot force bank/notary/authority timelines.
