How to open a company in Portugal?
To open a company in Portugal through e-residence.com, you start by contacting our team, who will guide you through the initial steps. The first task is to verify the availability of your chosen company name. After this, we assist in obtaining tax identification numbers (NIF) for all involved parties. Then, we help you prepare the necessary documentation, such as the articles of association and other legal paperwork. Once everything is ready, we register your company with the Portuguese Commercial Registry. Following that, we guide you through opening a business bank account where the initial share capital must be deposited. Finally, once these steps are completed, your company is officially registered and ready to operate in Portugal.
