Incorporate your business in Portugal

Portugal offers a vibrant ecosystem for entrepreneurs and businesses, with a strategic location, skilled workforce, and competitive operational costs. Whether you are a freelancer looking to incorporate or an international company expanding to Europe, we provide end-to-end support.

The most common structures are Unipessoal Lda. (Sole Shareholder Limited Liability Company) and Lda. (Private Limited Company). Both offer limited liability protection.

We guide you through the bureaucratic maze, ensuring your company is set up correctly from day one, compliant with commercial and tax laws.
