Company information must be published on your site: under penalty of a fine
The people who visit your site want to know everything about you: what you are, what you do, how you do it and above all they need to know that you are passionate about the subject you care about. However, good content writing is not enough to comply legal necessities. If the site you are dealing with is associated with a capital company, there are precise reporting obligations.
Mandatory information for corporations
Whether you are a limited company, a SAPA, a single-member SRL or a simplified SRL, it doesn't matter. What you definitely need to mention about your place regard:
- VAT number
- Exact company name
- Company headquarters
- Company register office with which the company is registered
- REA registration number
- Share capital according to the sum actually paid, and what is the existing one by observing the last approved balance sheet
- In the event of dissolution, you are required to inform users that the “company is in the process of liquidation”
- If your company is sole proprietorship
PEC address too it is not mandatory, contrary to what one might think, and it is no longer only highly recommended, this for maximum transparency of information.
also the innovative start-ups they must follow the obligations we just mentioned, without exception. On the other hand, however, it will also be necessary for them to introduce the information in the next list:
- Place and date of incorporation, with name and address of the notary
- Headquarters and branch offices
- Company object, with a brief description of the main reference activity
- List of shareholders, trust companies and subsidiaries. A list of educational qualifications and personal experiences of members and hired personnel is also required
- Mandatory indication of the existence of professional, collaborative or commercial relationships with certified incubators or professional/institutional investors, such as universities or research centers
- Balance sheet filed, with date
- List of Intellectual Property Rights
All this information will need to be entered on the site without a particular positioning obligation. In general, companies tend to post information at the bottom of the page. As far as VAT numbers are concerned, however, the information must always be indicated on the homepage. Finally, it is good practice to enter the same information on social networks and in the blog of your site.
Sanctions for failure to communicate corporate information
What happens if, unfortunately, I haven't entered the mandatory information and someone reports me to the post office? In the event that information is omitted or has not been received, the administrative fine is as salty as the Dead Sea.
The price is definitely higher than what you would pay a webmaster to make a couple of changes. So what are you waiting for? You don't want to pay $100 to $1.000 for not entering a couple of necessary pieces of information, right?
