Company reports

Our experience and our connection with the Register of Companies in Italy allows us to carry out company researches and obtain important information and official documents on any Italian company.

What are company reports?

The company report is an informative document that contains the most important personal, legal, economic and fiscal information of a company.

The company report includes:

• The company name, the type of company and the exact address where the registered office and all other possible locations (secondary offices, local units) are located
• Tax code, E.E.A. number and PEC certified e-mail address
• The date on which the company was incorporated
• The business activity carried out by the company and its possible registration in registers or roles
• Indication of the amount of the share capital
• The list of shareholders and other subjects holding rights on shareholdings (with personal data for each subject) with an indication of their respective shares and their value
• The type of administration adopted by the company
• The list of persons (with personal details for each individual) representing and managing the company, specifying the powers associated with each director and the duration of each term of office
• A copy of the company by-laws
• A copy of the last financial statements filed
• The list of parent companies and shareholdings in other companies
• The state of activity of the company (e.g. active, inactive, suspended, in liquidation, in crisis)
• An indication of how the company's losses and profits are distributed among the shareholders
• The history of the most recent changes in the company that have been entered in the Register of Companies (e.g. mergers, demergers, company transfers, transfers of shareholdings).

The company report is provided in two languages, in order to make it easier for companies to provide the required documentation to foreign authorities (with the exception of the copy of the company by-laws and of the last filed financial statements, which are provided in Italian, unless a specific translation is required). A further benefit of the company report is the presence on the first page of the QR Code, the identification code thanks to which anyone can verify, directly from smartphones and tablets (as well as from PCs), the correspondence between the document in their possession and the digital document archived by the system being extracted.

Does the company report have a validity limit?

The company report does not have a time limit of validity and therefore its level of updating depends on the date of its release. Moreover, it is an informative document containing certain and official data, but it is not a document certified by a notary public or by a Public Authority and therefore it is not opposable to third parties.

The certificate of good standing ("Certificato di Vigenza")

The certificate of good standing (or "Certificato di Vigenza"), unlike the company report, is issued by a Public Authority, the Italian Chamber of Commerce, and has legal certification value for six months from the date of issue and is therefore opposable against anyone. It can be used to officially certify the existence of the company and, therefore, its registration in the Register of Companies.

It collects the main personal information of the company and includes:

• The company name, the type of company and the exact address where the registered office and all other possible locations (secondary offices, local units) are located
• Tax code and R.E.A. number
• The date on which the company was incorporated
• The business activity carried out by the company
• Indication of the amount of the share capital
• The list of shareholders and other persons holding rights on shareholdings (with personal details) with an indication of their respective shares and their value
• The type of administration adopted by the company
• The list of persons (with personal details) representing and managing the company, specifying the powers associated with each director and the duration of each term of office.

The certificate of good standing is issued both in digital format and in paper format on watermarked paper, on which a stamp attesting the authenticity of the document is applied.
