According to Italian Law, the simplified limited liability company (hereinafter SRLS) is governed by art. 2463 Civil Code. It constitutes a subset of traditional limited liability company and it was born to encourage the incorporation of new companies. It is possible to build a SRLS by contract or unilateral act from physical person. The act shall include:

·        – Personal Data of any shareholder:

It is important to notice that State-ruled clauses do not admit any exemption and they cannot be amended.
