If you want to start  a company/sole proprietorship in the provinces of Milan, Monza Brianza, or Lodi,  you have to:

  • Register your business in the Business Register at the Chamber of Commerce. The  date of registration is not necessarily the same as the business start date, which can be postponed.
  • Notify the Economic and Administrative Index (REA) at the Chamber of Commerce of the business start date. The notification must be made via the ComUnica website within thirty days of the start date.
  • Get information on the requirements to start a business
  • If you need authorization of the municipality before starting your business, you have to contact the Productive Activity One-Stop Desk,  (SUAP, i.e. Sportello Unico Attività Produttive),  the  online desk where one applies for all the licenses and permits required by the law.
  • Apply for a certified email.

 

To know

 Things to know


As required by the Civil Code, the Business Register contains relevant information on companies and sole proprietorships that carry out agricultural, commercial, or productive activities. It provides basic data such as business names, statutes, boards and headquarters; and records key events such as changes to statutes, names, or management; insolvency proceedings; and openings of new branches. It's an exhaustive database to analyse and understand the trends of local economies in any province of Italy.

The Economic and Administrative Index (REA) is a public register that contains  economic, administrative and statistic data on all the  businesses registered in the Italian Business Register,  i.e. annual turnovers,  business start dates,  business temporary closures exceeding 30 days and openings of new branches.

You are required to sign any registration or change request  concerning  your company/sole proprietorship by a digital signature device.
