Sound familiar?

Going self-employed in Italy shouldn’t feel ‍confusing

If you’ve tried to figure it out alone, you’ve probably hit all three of these.

Every blog says something different

Forums and accountant sites contradict each other, and none are talking to your situation.

You don’t know what applies to you

Flat-rate or ordinary regime? Which ATECO code? INPS or a separate fund? The questions multiply.

Forms in Italian, unforgiving deadlines

One wrong field or missed date and you’re back to square one or paying a penalty.

Why we built Startiva

“When I moved to Italy and tried to go self-employed, I drowned in fragmented advice and forms I couldn’t read. I built Startiva so no one else has to start from zero.”
