You can incorporate the following legal forms thanks to Itadvisors business creation assistance service:
- Freelancer (Libero Professionista, with Partita IVA)
- Sole trader (ditta individuale, registered to the chamber of commerce)
- SRL (limited liability company)
- Innovative Startup (SRL Startup Innovativa)
- SRLS (simplified limited liability company)
Business creation services are provided by Itadvisors only. Thanks to a commercial agreement between Qonto and Itadvisors, users who access the service through Qonto's onboarding flow can benefit from a dedicated price of €99 + VAT. This price applies only when the service is accessed through the Qonto onboarding journey.
If you already have a registered company with a visura camerale or run an existing solo business, you don't need this flow. You can open a Qonto account as an existing business.

How does the process work, step by step?
(1) Sign up on Qonto
Start on Qonto, create your credentials, and select the option to create a new business. During this process, Qonto will let you access Itadvisors' company creation service.
(2) Access Itadvisors' platform and set up your business structure
Itadvisors will guide you through the key steps of your incorporation. You’ll provide some key information about your situation (the legal form you’d like to incorporate, personal data, where you’re based), and you’ll be asked to purchase Itadvisors’ incorporation assistance service for €99 + VAT.
The purchase is made directly with Itadvisors. At this stage, you accept Itadvisors' terms and conditions and privacy policy. Qonto is not a party to this contract.
Once the purchase is complete, you can schedule and join an introductory video call with your dedicated accountant. During this call, you’ll identify the business structure that better suits your needs, define your legal form, and prepare the information and documents needed for incorporation.
(3) Finalize your business registration
Move on to the core steps of your business creation, going through the required administrative and legal formalities. Itadvisors will let you know exactly what's needed based on your situation.
For solo businesses (Partita IVA as a Libero Professionista or ditta individuale), the opening process typically takes around 24 hours from the time all documents are collected, subject to the completeness of the documentation submitted and applicable processing times.
For companies (SRL/SRLS, startup innovativa), the process requires a notary appointment, which can typically be scheduled within 1–2 weeks. Exact timelines depend on notary availability and the completeness of the documentation.
(4) Open a business account
Once you receive confirmation that your business is registered, you can come back to activate your Qonto account. This is a separate step, subject to Qonto's standard business information and account owner’s identity verification and approval process. Account opening is not guaranteed. Users who successfully complete Qonto onboarding are eligible for a 4-month free trial on any Qonto plan.
Which business activities are eligible to open an account with Qonto?
To open your Qonto account following your business incorporation with the assistance of Itadvisors, your business activity must comply with Qonto's guidelines. You can check the full list of activities that aren't accepted in this document.
Completing incorporation with Itadvisors does not automatically result in the opening of a Qonto account. The account opening request is subject to Qonto's standard onboarding and verification checks.
