FINANZIAMENTI PER FILIALI DI AZIENDE ITALIANE NEGLI USA by VILLANI & PARTNERS

Negli ultimi anni sono sempre di più le aziende italiane che guardano alla Florida, ed in particolare a Miami, come punto di accesso principale alle Americhe, sia per il Nord America che per l’America Latina e i Caraibi. Per molti l’apertura di una filiale commerciale in questo hub strategico non e’ più solo un’opzione ma è diventato quasi un obbligo al fine di presidiare efficientemente mercati in grande espansione.

Per dare risposta a questa necessità, la Camera di Commercio Italo-Americana a Miami propone alle aziende italiane interessate ad aprire nuove filiali commerciali o produttive o per il supporto di filiali già insediate un nuovo servizio di assistenza per la ricerca per l’ottenimento di finanziamenti agevolati o a fondo perduto messi a disposizione da numerosi enti pubblici italiani ed europei a favore dell’internazionalizzazione.

Essenzialmente i finanziamenti possono essere di 5 tipi:

  • Finanziamenti agevolati al tasso dello 0% (fino ad un massimo di 2,5 milioni di euro) con garanzia statale sino all’80% da fondi statali italiani per tutte le imprese italiane che decidono di aprire e/o potenziare strutture commerciali negli USA;
  • Finanziamenti agevolati fino a 300.000 euro al tasso dello 0,0% con garanzia statale sino all’80% da fondi statali italiani per le aziende italiane che devono affrontare studi di prefattibilità per investimenti produttivi e/o commerciali e/o assistenze post vendita;
  • Finanziamenti agevolati fino a € 100.000 al tasso dello 0,08% interamente garantiti per la partecipazione a fiere in Usa come espositore;
  • Finanziamenti agevolati fino a € 400.000 al tasso dello 0,08% con garanzia statale sino al per le PMI che esportano più del 35% medio del loro fatturato in aree Ue ed extra UE La Camera mette a disposizione dei richiedenti la possibilità di beneficiare, senza impegno, di una prima analisi di prefattibilità sul proprio profilo, l’elenco dettagliato dei documenti da preparare e l’assistenza necessaria per la compilazione della domanda.

Indicativamente possono accedere ai finanziamenti aziende italiane con almeno due bilanci depositati e che abbiano un fatturato superiore al 1 milione di Euro, sede centrale in Italia e una società in USA (anche non direttamente detenuta o ancora da costituire).

In caso di valutazione positiva, l’intera istruttoria verrà seguita dal nostro partner tecnico in Italia (un’azienda specializzata con esperienza pluriennale nell’assistere aziende per la ricerca di incentivi per operare sui mercati internazionali) soggetta alla supervisione Camera.

Report about the Italian presence in the U.S. Southeast


Report Italian Presence for website

The Consulate General of Italy in Miami with the support of the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast and the Italian Trade Agency  has recently published a joint report regarding the Italian presence in the south-east of the United States, with a particular emphasis on the economic and trade aspects.

The jurisdiction of the Italian Consulate in Miami includes Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and Caribbean Islands such as Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Jamaica and Cayman.

The first important number, is the considerable increase of Italian citizens living in the area under the Consulate’s jurisdiction, which in just four years, have gone from 28,000 to over 41,000, of which 35,000 just in Florida. Moreover, there were 260,000 Italians who traveled for business or holiday in Florida in 2017, generating an impact of 755 million dollars for the local economy.

Italy benefits from a trade surplus with the U.S. Southeast of about 3 billion dollars a year. In 2017, Italy exported products for over 5 billion dollars while it imported just over 2 billion dollars. The most exported Italian products are related to the automotive sector, industrial machinery and home furnishings sectors.

There are a total of 216 Italian firms with commercial offices or production sites in the region. Florida leads the ranking with 114 Italian companies, followed by Georgia with 59. The direct jobs created by these companies are over 8,000.
