According to Deloitte, finance is central to nautical SMEs, but not very sought after
The fear is of losing its centrality, but shareholdings are growing; the luxury sectors, to which the nautical sector belongs, are significant on the stock exchange, and Ferretti's listing is very important.
Although finance is "central to the nautical segment" because the sector "is made up of small and medium-sized enterprises and therefore companies that generally have difficulty accessing finance" – according to Enesto Lanzillo, leader of Deloitte Private for the Central Mediterranean area – Italian entrepreneurs are not attracted to it because they want to maintain control of their companies.
Lanzillo, who advises Deloitte Private on the three countries of Italy, Greece, and Malta, made these comments on the sidelines of the recent presentation in Milan of the Confindustria Nautica and Deloitte study "The state of the art of the global yachting market."
