OTHER SERVICES Company Register: Italy
Approximately 527,140 real businesses classified under Other Service Activities in Italy, with officer, shareholder and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Approximately 527,140 real businesses operate in the Other Service Activities sector across Italy. This is the sector with the shortest ownership chains in the entire directory. Laundries, hairdressers, and repair shops are, almost without exception, exactly what they look like: small, locally owned, single-entity businesses. After eighteen sectors defined by structural complexity, that plainness is itself the useful fact.
Italy's own official business register reports a comparable figure specifically for active, currently-trading businesses: approximately 331,574 (InfoCamere (Italian Chambers of Commerce register), ATECO 2025 classification, active businesses as of December 2025).
Beneficial-ownership and registration rules for Other Service Activities companies in Italy follow the same national framework as every other sector there.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you
Other Service Activities in Italy mixes personal-service businesses with a distinctive non-profit sector, most of which is transitioning through a specific registration deadline in 2026. An Italian non-profit can legally exist — as an unrecognised cultural or social association, for instance — without registering anywhere in particular, but to be recognised as an Ente del Terzo Settore (ETS) and access the associated tax benefits and public-administration advantages, it must register with the RUNTS (Registro Unico Nazionale del Terzo Settore).
That transition has a hard deadline in 2026: the separate Anagrafe Unica delle ONLUS, maintained by the Agenzia delle Entrate, is being abolished from 1 January 2026, and any ONLUS wanting to continue operating as an ETS must file its RUNTS registration application by 31 March 2026 or lose its ETS status and tax treatment entirely. For verification, an Italian non-profit counterparty’s actual legal and tax standing depends on its current RUNTS status, not just whether it’s an association in some general sense — and any ONLUS not yet transitioned by the March 2026 deadline is a real, checkable compliance gap.

Who uses Italy other service activities ownership data
The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.
RUNTS registration check
Italian non-profit organisations wanting recognition as an Ente del Terzo Settore (ETS), with its associated tax benefits and public-administration advantages, must register with the RUNTS (Registro Unico Nazionale del Terzo Settore) — an association can legally exist without registering, but loses the ETS tax status and benefits if it doesn’t.
ONLUS-to-RUNTS transition deadline
From 1 January 2026, the separate Anagrafe Unica delle ONLUS is being abolished; ONLUS organisations that want to keep operating as an Ente del Terzo Settore must file for RUNTS registration by 31 March 2026 — a hard, dated transition deadline relevant to any Italian non-profit counterparty.
Membership and grant-based revenue exposure
Associations and personal-service providers in this sector often rely on membership fees, grants or small recurring service contracts rather than conventional trade revenue, which changes how counterparty risk should be read against a standard commercial balance sheet.
