AL2

What AL2 does

AL2 is a privately held Italian management consulting firm founded by Antonia Lotti, operating under the legal entity AL2 di Antonia Lotti sas (società in accomandita semplice) and headquartered in Borgo San Lorenzo, Florence. The firm delivers four integrated service lines: (i) Management Systems consulting for ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), ISO 18001 (Safety) and ISO 50001 (Energy) certification projects, (ii) GDPR/European Privacy compliance including external Data Protection Officer (DPO) services delivered by certified personnel, (iii) Personnel Selection, and (iv) customized Personnel Training. Services are explicitly described as 'tailored to measure' for each client and delivered through highly personalized consulting engagements rather than standardized product offerings.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform or software products; its core technology is the consulting methodology and certified expertise of its founder and its national network of carefully selected collaborators. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on project-based or multi-year engagements with no publicly disclosed pricing, rate cards, or tiered offerings. Customers are horizontally distributed across Italian public and private organizations of any size; named clients include Fondazione Mariani (nonprofit), Di Vita Tours (tourism/SMB), Formazione srl (education/SMB), Nata srl (SMB), and Dimatico Srl (SMB), with all customer acquisition driven by the founder's professional reputation, referrals, direct email contact, and a basic web presence at aldue.it.

Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-led: the firm markets primarily through its website, LinkedIn, Facebook, and word-of-mouth referrals tied to Antonia Lotti personally, with no resellers, partnerships, or formal alliances disclosed. Distribution is fully direct, executed via on-site or remote consulting nationwide through the collaborator network. With 1-10 employees, €5,000 of share capital, no external funding, and no parent company, AL2 operates as a micro-scale founder-centric professional services practice rather than a scaling firm.
