What is an S.R.L.?
An S.R.L. is a limited liability company. It is usually the simplest structure for an online shop that wants separate company liability, multiple founders or a scalable setup for employees, accounting and contracts.
Typical steps
- Choose the company name and check availability with the registration authority.
- Choose the legal address, administrator and business activities.
- Prepare the founder decision or incorporation documents.
- Register the company with the Public Services Agency or through an authorized provider.
- Receive the registration documents and fiscal code.
- Open a bank account, arrange accounting and obtain an electronic signature if needed.
- Register for VAT if required or if your accountant recommends it.
Costs to expect
Costs vary by service speed and provider. Plan for state registration fees, notary or legal support if used, accounting setup, bank fees, electronic signature and possible address services. The statutory capital for an S.R.L. can be modest, but confirm the current minimum and payment rules before registration.
Taxes
An S.R.L. normally keeps accounting records and may pay income tax, VAT when registered or required, payroll taxes for employees, social and medical contributions, and local taxes where applicable. Common reference rates are 12% income tax and 20% standard VAT, but special regimes and exemptions may apply.
Before you sell on IVO
Make sure the company activity allows the products you want to sell, your bank account is active, and any regulated goods have the necessary permits.
