How to Set up a Subsidiary in Portugal

Portugal usually welcomes international investors, and the method of forming a company is close to that of forming a local company. When considering a move to Portugal, you should consider a variety of business factors that could influence your decision, including your form of business, sector, headquarters nationality, and more.

Two important things to remember are location and language. Different cities and regions can have varying prices and availability. If you are unfamiliar with the Portuguese market, it is a good idea to consult with legal counsel or other business professionals in the country. Keep in mind that the language varies depending on the country.Keep in mind that the language varies depending on the country. The majority of workers in Portugal speak English, French, and Spanish, although other dialects are spoken in some regions.

The next step is to determine what sort of business you want to form. The procedure for setting up a subsidiary in Portugal varies depending on the type of subsidiary you want to run. Limited liability corporations, associations, and branches/representative offices are the three primary categories of subsidiaries.

Most subsidiaries incorporate as either private or public limited liability companies. The steps for incorporation include:

• Register your company name at the National Registry of Collective Entities
• Open a bank account in Portugal
• Obtain a Certificate of Registration
• Register employees
• Notify the Labor Inspectorate
• Register for insurance

Portugal Subsidiary Laws

A private limited liability company (LDA) is the most common form of subsidiary arrangement for smaller businesses with low initial capital expenditure and expenses. An LDA must have at least two founders and a minimum share capital of 5,000 EUR. Based on what they contribute, each shareholder has a limited liability.

In the Portuguese LDA, a single director is also needed, who is appointed by the general meeting of shareholders and serves as the supreme authority. An incorporated LDA corporation does not need to undergo an annual audit if it has met two out of three conditions in the previous two years under this system.

Portugal subsidiary laws state an LDA must also have:

• Combined assets of less than 1.5 million EUR
• Total revenue of less than 3 million EUR
• Fewer than 50 employees

Benefits of a Portugal Subsidiary

You're ready to set up your payroll, recruit staff, and develop a Portugal benefit management plan once you've formed a subsidiary. As a limited liability corporation, you'll reap a slew of advantages. This form of subsidiary limits the parent company's liability, which benefits all parties. The parent corporation is protected from any losses or lawsuits due to the limited liability, and the subsidiary will function under its own management structure.

A subsidiary outsourcing operation in Portugal provides even more advantages. AtoZ Serwis is an alternative to forming a Portugal subsidiary that will help you get your business up and running faster. Rather than going through the process of setting up a Portugal subsidiary on your own, we'll have employees working for you in a matter of days.

What Do You Need

You would need a significant amount of time and resources if you plan to integrate yourself rather than using a subsidiary. Although the subsidiary process in Portugal is relatively quick, any errors could result in fines, penalties, or additional setup time. In order to facilitate travel back and forth to Portugal, you would also need to clear your schedule at your parent company.

Keep in mind that a member of your team would need to become familiar with Portugal's subsidiary rules. Alternatively, you'll need to find an attorney or a new member of staff who is well-versed in these rules.
