Business formation & support

From choosing a legal form through to operation and later changes.

The choice of legal form determines taxation, social security contributions, liability towards third parties and running costs for every year that follows. It deserves a conversation beforehand rather than a correction afterwards.

What it covers

  • Analysis and choice of legal form: sole trader, partnership, private company (IKE), limited liability company, public limited company
  • Incorporation and registration with the General Commercial Registry (GEMI)
  • Commencement of activity with the tax authority and selection of activity codes
  • Social security registration and related obligations
  • Amendments: registered seat, partners, capital, scope of activity
  • Conversions, mergers and dissolution
  • Cessation of activity and liquidation
  • Operating permits and administrative procedures

Activity codes

The correct choice of activity codes affects tax and social security treatment, eligibility for particular regimes, and access to funding programmes. Codes are always selected from the official nomenclature, never approximated.

After formation

Formation is the beginning. The business then needs bookkeeping, tax compliance and often payroll. We support the business throughout its operating life.
