No cash deposit required — your liquidity stays with your business
The problem we solve
If your non-EU company needs to operate in Italy with an Italian VAT number and trade VAT-free within the EU, the Italian Tax Authority requires a mandatory €50,000 guarantee to activate and maintain your VIES registration.
The traditional route is a bank guarantee with cash collateral: €50,000 of your working capital frozen for three full years. For most importers, Amazon FBA sellers, e-commerce operators and traders, locking up that amount of liquidity is either unaffordable or simply harmful to operations.
There is a legal, recognised alternative already accepted in dozens of VIES applications by the Italian Tax Authority: an insurance-based guarantee with no cash deposit.

Who we work with — key markets
We work with non-EU companies operating in Italy from key markets around the world:
United Kingdom
Post-Brexit, UK companies are now treated as non-EU and need a VIES guarantee to trade VAT-free with Italian and European partners. We help UK-based businesses meet the new requirement without tying up GBP 40,000+ in bank collateral.
United Arab Emirates
Dubai-based traders, e-commerce operators and free-zone companies selling into Italy can avoid blocking AED 200,000+ as bank collateral. The insurance-based guarantee is the standard alternative for UAE businesses entering the EU market.
United States
Amazon FBA sellers, importers, and manufacturers shipping to EU customers via Italian fiscal representation. Keep your USD working capital available instead of freezing it in an Italian bank account.
China and other Asian markets
Importers and exporters with established Italian VAT history. Our solution is widely used by Chinese trading companies operating in Italy through a fiscal representative.
