Italy company incorporation with TKEG Expat™ (DE) — we form your Italian SRL (Società a responsabilità limitata) traditional private limited liability company via notarial deed: name reservation, articles of association, Chamber of Commerce (Camera di Commercio) filing, codice fiscale and VAT (partita IVA) registration. Minimum share capital is 10,000 EUR, or from 1 EUR where the contributions are in cash and paid up in full, in which case one fifth of each year's net profit is set aside until the reserve and the capital together reach 10,000 EUR. At incorporation at least 25% of the cash contributions is paid to the administrative body named in the deed, and the whole amount where there is a single founder; where the deed is received by videoconference, the cash contribution is paid in full by bank transfer to a dedicated account. The SRL accepts both natural-person and legal-entity shareholders, making it the flexible vehicle for joint ventures and foreign-owned groups. An Italian registered office is mandatory — our Milan and Rome address services can supply one. TKEG Expat™ (DE) supports remote incorporation for non-resident founders.

Frequently Asked Questions
The company's registered capital belongs to the company, not to its shareholders, so the shareholders cannot simply withdraw it after incorporation. The company may spend it on its business. Returning capital to the shareholders requires a procedure the applicable company law provides, such as a formal capital reduction, and profits can be paid out to them only as a lawful distribution.
No. Company incorporation in Italy does not include a PEC (Posta Elettronica Certificata, a legally-valid certified email system). The client must register their own PEC with one of the many PEC providers, similar to signing up for any email account; it is not part of the incorporation service.
