Abstract: This paper aims at giving basic information about the recent amendments in Italian private company law in particular, the “new” simplified s.r.l. and the ordinary s.r.l. with a capital under the minimum threshold are considered, along with innovative startups and SMEs. In spite of lowering the starting legal capital required for a company’s constitution, the running legal capital set at 10,000 Euro seems to be still in force, and the overall situation does not seem to imply a race to the bottom against creditors’ stakes, as will be underlined in the conclusion.
