How to get the company accounts of an Italian s.r.l?

September 24, 2011 7:01 AM

How can I cheaply/easily get company accounts for an Italian company?

The company is an "s.r.l." and it's been around for many years doing significant trading - so presumably it should have filed accounts, but again I have no idea what the system is in Italy: do companies have to file accounts, and at what size do they have to do detailed versus summary accounts (as in the UK)? I've found a service called Cerved which may give me what I need but keen to ask the Hive Mind before spending 50 EUR.

We use Cerved in my company for just this purpose. It's the equivalent of Companies House in the UK and lets you get whatever accounts the company has filed. Unfortunately I don't know what regulations there are in terms of the content of the accounts: this EU site has some details, but most of the links are in Italian.

I may be able to get hold of these if you let us know which company?
