Product Description

Product Description

Italy is the land of entrepreneurs and small businesses are the backbone of its economy. And because of the unwritten employment laws that dominate the job scene in Italy, setting up your own business can be an excellent alternative to finding employed work.

Whether its running opera tours, becoming a wedding planner or establishing your own language school, "Starting a Business in Italy" is an essential resource. Packed with information on key figures and institutions, company structure, Italy's infamous red tape, paying taxes, setting up the office, networking, taking on staff, business etiquette, and much more, this is the only guide you'll ever need. If you want to start a business in Italy but are not quite sure how to go about it, where better to learn than from expatriate entrepreneurs already running their own businesses there? This nuts and bolts guide will help you every step of the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fab find!, 13 Mar 2007
This review is from: Starting a Business in Italy: How to Set Up and Run a Successful Business in the Bel Paese (Paperback)
What a fabulous find! No other book on moving to Italy focuses on setting up a business and this one is brimming with information. Emma Bird and Mario Berri, the authors recently moved to Sardinia where they set up their own business, helping others to do just that in Italy. British Bird is a trained journalist and has lived, studied and worked all over Italy. Meanwhile, Italian Berri, knows the ropes, the language and the culture, there could be no better combination of brains.

This book is full of indispensable information. Yet, rather than being a dry old tome, it is peppered with case studies, interviews, illustrations, facts, figures and lots and lots of lovely resources. This is an authentic publication that combines vital business know-how with heart. Find out how Emma and her boyfriend Mario did it and be inspired by their success to do it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lifting the veil on the Real Italy, 11 Dec 2006
By 
Janine Vasta (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Starting a Business in Italy: How to Set Up and Run a Successful Business in the Bel Paese (Paperback)
I thought I knew Italy pretty well already but this book is a revelation! Packed with up-to-the-minute facts and entertaining to boot, it is essential reading for lovers of Italian culture and entrepreneurs alike. Indeed anyone wanting or needing to know what makes Italy and Italians tick. I was especially impressed by Emma and Mario's ability to make the baffling business of Italian bureaucracy so readable - and comprehensible. The writers' attention to detail is striking and I love the way they simply refuse to sugar-coat the facts while remaining upbeat all the way. The chapters on Culture clash and Women in business pull no punches either with inside tips on everything from how to hold your fork at a business lunch to the etiquette of wet hair in the office! Highly recommended.

This review is from: Starting a Business in Italy: How to Set Up and Run a Successful Business in the Bel Paese (Paperback)
Generic. Very few useful insights. Just another book on starting business with little emphasis on Intalian specifics. Quite outdated.
