Business needs
Since the establishment of OnePartner, we have gained specific experience which we can provide to start-ups, including innovative ones, in the tech industry and to SMEs that have decided to invest in innovation processes, in order to be ready to meet an ever-evolving market and the challenges related to the digital and ecological transitions that Italy will have to face in the coming years.
We are able to offer to start-ups qualified advice to accompany them from formation to development: we verify the feasibility and economic and financial sustainability of business ideas; we support them in their search for the capitals needed to start up the business, in the application for civil law, tax and social security facilities; we assist them in drafting by-laws, articles of association, corporate deeds and shareholders’ agreements; and in the use of tax relief instruments with particular reference to the Patent Box facility, tax credits for Research, Development and Innovation, and in the access to EU and Italian national funding. We also handle the specific processes related to the protection of intellectual property and provide assistance for industrial property protection.
In today’s highly competitive global economy, companies increasingly depend on their own ideas, knowledge and innovations.
For SMEs, our focus is on the key moments in the life of an enterprise and so we have structured our services to revolve on 4 specific moments, which mark the natural evolution of an enterprise, from its formation through its growth and internationalization.
