The short answer.

A layered dossier

From context to a verifiable decision.

This page separates facts, editorial analysis and points that still require specific validation.

01

Legal form and governance

EAS, SRL and SA address different needs concerning shareholders, capital, control and transfers.

02

Incorporation and registration

The documentation, tax and municipal sequence should be designed with the final activity in mind.

03

Talent and obligations

Hiring, social security, payroll and internal policies are part of operational infrastructure.

04

Permits and launch

An incorporated company is not necessarily authorised for its activity. Each sector adds its own checks.

Editorial transparency
What we have not verified matters too.

Timelines and requirements depend on the activity, municipality, shareholder composition and document quality; they must be confirmed case by case.
