Professional assistance with setting up an SRL (limited liability company) in Italy, with support in choosing the most suitable form, preparing the deed of incorporation and launching the new business.
What an SRL is and when it is the most suitable form
Setting up an SRL is one of the most common choices for starting a business in Italy, because it limits the shareholders’ liability to the capital contributed and allows the business to operate with a more solid organisational structure than a sole proprietorship or partnership.
There are two main variants, the ordinary SRL and the simplified SRL, which differ in minimum capital, incorporation costs and statutory flexibility: the choice between the two should be assessed case by case, based on the entrepreneurial objectives and the desired corporate structure. The number of shareholders, the amount of capital available and the business’s growth prospects also affect this initial choice.
How we assist you in setting up the SRL
Studiosavia supports the client through every stage of incorporation, from the preliminary assessment of the most suitable corporate form to the preparation of the deed of incorporation and the articles of association, in coordination with the appointed notary.
The assistance also includes defining the tax and social security aspects to be set up from the very start of the business, so as to establish the new company on correct foundations from the outset, reducing the risk of errors during the most delicate phase of the business’s life.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an ordinary SRL and a simplified SRL?
The ordinary SRL requires higher minimum capital and offers greater statutory flexibility, while the simplified SRL involves lower incorporation costs but a standard, less customisable set of articles of association.
How long does it take to set up an SRL?
Timing varies depending on the complexity of the project and the availability of documentation, but the process is organised so as to keep the overall timeframe under control.
Is it necessary to use a notary?
Yes, the deed of incorporation of an SRL must take the form of a notarial public deed, regardless of the variant chosen.
Is it possible to set up an SRL using digital methods too?
Yes: for this reason we offer a dedicated service for online SRL incorporation, with a process that can also be organised remotely.
