Why Buy a Ready-Made Company in Madeira
Madeira combines EU credibility, tax efficiency, and operational flexibility — making it one of the most attractive jurisdictions for international business. The International Business Centre of Madeira (IBCM) is the EU-approved special economic zone that makes it possible — every company we offer is licensed under it and qualifies for reduced tax rates on international profits.
Madeira Company Options: LDA vs IBCM
Madeira offers two main company types for international business. Choose based on your operations and tax optimisation goals.
| Tax Category | Standard LDA — Local & EU-focused operations | IBCM Licensed Company ★ Recommended — International trading, IT, consulting, holding |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate Income Tax (CIT) | 14.7% standard; 11.9% SME rate on first €50,000 | 5% CIT on eligible profits; subject to licensing & substance requirements |
| Value Added Tax (VAT) | 22% (may be reduced) | 22% (may be reduced) — same VAT rates apply |
| Capital Gains Tax | Taxed at 14.7% corporate rate | Taxed at 5% IBCM rate, if qualifying under IBCM regime |
| Royalty Withholding Tax | 25%; may reduce to 0–15% under treaties | 0–10%, depending on EU directives or treaties |
| Dividend Withholding Tax | 28% standard; may reduce to 0–15% under EU directives | 0% on dividends to non-resident shareholders (subject to rules) |
| Interest Withholding Tax | 25%; may reduce to 0–15% under treaties | 0–10%, depending on EU directives or treaty relief |
Key takeaway
The IBCM company offers one of the most competitive EU tax regimes — 5% CIT and 0% dividend withholding tax — while remaining fully EU-compliant and recognised worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy a ready-made company in Madeira without visiting Portugal?
Yes, 100%. The entire transfer process is completed remotely. You never need to travel to Madeira or Portugal at any point. All documents are signed digitally or via notarised power of attorney.
Is the company truly clean — no debts or liabilities?
Yes. Every ready-made company we offer has never traded. There are no debts, no tax history, no prior transactions, and no outstanding liabilities. You start with a completely clean slate.
What is the IBCM tax regime and what are the benefits?
Companies licensed under the IBCM regime pay a 5% corporate income tax rate on qualifying international profits, benefit from 0% dividend withholding tax to non-resident shareholders, and enjoy reduced rates on royalties and interest — all fully compliant with EU regulations.
Can I open a bank account after the company transfer?

What documents do I need to buy a ready-made company?
To get started, all you need is a high-quality copy of your passport. Depending on the structure, notarised documents or a power of attorney may be required at a later stage — we guide you through every step.
