How we can help you
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
