We have been operating since 1998 with a precise idea: to support closely those who start a business by providing specialized consultancy in an integrated way.
We love to follow and plan the company in every phase and we like to do it by inspiring trust. We are convinced that the requirement of a business owner is to know the "how to do" rather than simply the "what to do": for this reason we provide consultancy with a managerial approach, addressed to the executive needs of the company and the implementation of strategies that simplify the tax and law compliance processes.
We know how important the company is for each of its founders, for its CEOs or stakeholders, and is for this reason that we are committed to protecting its value by optimizing the start-up phase, the management of human resources, tax strategies and the audit of management policies. Being centrally managed, our advisory services offer a single strategy and a single interlocutor with reduced times and costs.
We believe in the value of excellence and, thanks to this passion, we are part of the limited number of consultancy companies operating in Italy to be certified with ISO standard confirming the best practices by service providers with high quality standards. Every year, privacy, service performance and data security push us to invest 15% of the revenue in IT infrastructures and 12% in specific training activities addressed to the entire professional team of LifeCapital.
