What Soa Consult does

Soa Consult S.p.A. is an Italian Società per Azioni operating as an authorized SOA (Organismo di Attestazione) — a regulated qualification certification body for construction companies participating in Italian public works contracts. Founded in 2000–2001 and headquartered in Naples, the firm holds AVCP authorization n° 63/2001 (now administered by ANAC) and issues SOA qualification certificates that contractors must obtain to bid on public works contracts exceeding €150,000. The firm operates four offices in Naples (headquarters), Rome (two locations), and Milan, and employs between 11 and 50 people with a stated €1,000,000 share capital.

The firm's core product is the issuance of SOA attestation under a triennial revision cycle, with fees regulated by ANAC's coefficient R (1.550 for 2026) and minimum attestations starting around €5,750. Its technology stack includes a regulated fee calculator, a document download portal, a reserved client area, a regulatory news feed, and the SoaConsultApp mobile application; it has also initiated the SOA Chain blockchain project aimed at attestation record integrity. Leadership rests with CEO Arch. Fabio Valerio Ferrillo following the May 2022 death of founder Dr. Gennaro Caputo. The firm is GDPR-compliant and partners with law firm Piselli & Partners on the "Soa Consult Sharing" knowledge initiative.

The business model rests on regulated, transaction-based fees tied to contractor qualifications and triennial revisions, generating recurring revenue from the existing certification base. Distribution is anchored by physical offices in Italy's three largest commercial centers, supplemented by digital channels. Customers are Italian construction contractors above the public-procurement threshold; no anchor enterprise customers or logos were disclosed.
