I was expecting something along the lines of Angola, or Salvador. In your case, Italy is Europe. Open a UK Ltd, or an Estonian Entity. Before you will have to worry about anything related to "esterovestizione" you'll already know whether the company is actually working or not. If you start to have cashflow, get an accountant, if you file your taxes in Italy, and there's nothing shady about the Company, you're doing nothing wrong.
But nobody really cares about either.
Until it becomes a business, it’s a hobby. If you’re not earning thousands in revenue per year, treat it like a hobby.
Obviously, lots of caveats with that approach (e.g. your product has a high chance of killing someone), but meh, just start.
I would like to experiment (and pay taxes on profits, if any, as a person), then open a proper italian company.
I did the math already.
My advice is to do some more math and research and maybe being more open to advices ;)
By the way, opening an srl in Italy can be done autonomously without the need of the notary by following online wizards like the one from iubenda. It's kind of cheap and gives you limited liability. Saying that opening a company is complex makes me think you kind of don't understand how complex running a business is.
I want to run some experiments, easily and fast. If not 100% needed I don’t want to invest time and resources in managing a company, for what probably is going to fail really fast.
Never really looked into SRLs or similar recently. Thanks!
