After the first meeting, the parties can conduct the negotiations in full autonomy.
The investor may decide to meet the managers of the companies personally. In this case, if you belong to a Country with a visa requirement, Jusweb will provide assistance to request a short-term visa for tourism or business. The cost of this service will be disclosed separately.
After the first agreement, Jusweb will start the procedure for the visa for the investor.
It depends on which stage of the negotiation you decide to withdraw the offer. If it happens before the signing of the contract there won’t be any kind of legal consequences.
Otherwise, if the contract is signed there could be legal consequences which depend from the terms of the contract concluded between the parts. If during this period of time the visa or the residence permit is released by the authority, it will be revoked.
By request, during the negotiation Jusweb can provide legal assistance, interpretation and translation services. The fee for these additional provisions is not included in the rate amounts.
No cost. Only in some particular investments, expressly indicated, the investor will have to pay a success fee after the conclusion of the deal.

The entrepreneur who wants to purchase a firm to start its business in Italy must be aware that the minimum investment is EUR 500,000 and that the business should create at least 3 new job positions. In addition to the purchase price, the buyer will be charged with:
- EUR 1,000 for access to the preliminary services (legal and fiscal advice, web conference meeting with the real estate agency representing the owner, multi lingual assistance);
- The fee for assistance in visa application and residence permits, to be determined according to the number of visas requests (including those for relatives);
- A percentage of the purchase price of the firm to be paid to the real estate agency which represents the owner. In any case, the percentage indicated by the agency itself will be less than 2%;
- The notary service and the fees for the transfer of ownership that will be budgeted by the notary.
Upon visa issue, the investor or the patron may enter Italy. Within eight days of entry, the residence permit may be requested through Jusweb. The investor or patron then has three months to stipulate the notarized document. In this period of time Jusweb is available to help the investor for doubts or problems during the stay.
Non-EU citizens in possession of a National Visa (NV) for sojourns longer than 90 days are required, within eight (8) days from entry into Italy to request a residence permit (permesso di soggiorno) from the Italian Questura (State Police Headquarters), and will be subject to photo/fingerprint registration. This residence permit, which is issued for the reason and for the period indicated on the visa, authorizes an alien to sojourn in Italy for a period of two years.
It is certainly possible to be assisted by a lawyer, but the Italian law provides that these operations are carried out with a notarial act. In both cases, therefore, the assistance of an Italian notary will be required.
