Setting up a branch office in Italy

Our firm also provides specialized support to foreign companies wishing to operate in Italy through the opening of a secondary office (establishment of a branch in Italy), without the need to set up a new company.

Why establish a Branch: advantages and disadvantages

  • The management cost of a Branch is lower compared to an Italian company (NewCo), as some obligations are not required
  • However, the Branch is not a separate legal entity, but is legally dependent on the parent company
  • Consequently, the parent company is fully liable for all obligations undertaken by the Branch in Italy

Our Firm’s support includes

  • Registration of the branch in Italy within 7 to 10 working days from the delivery of the required documentation
  • Remote establishment through power of attorney granted to our Firm
  • Annual assistance with deadlines and tax obligations of the branch
  • English-speaking consultancy
