Portugal Your business
Start your business in Portugal: AI and machine learning engineer
You build models, training pipelines or AI integrations for businesses. To prepare an activity in Portugal, describe the work actually sold, the contracts and access to computing resources. The engineer title alone does not explain your project: applied research, product development and consulting need to be specified according to the assignments your planned business would undertake.
Let’s discuss your project
A few details to understand your business and the next step.

Before you incorporate
Registering as self-employed and incorporating a company are different routes. The choice depends on how your business actually operates. A Portuguese company alone does not determine your tax residence or the treatment of every source of income.
Information to gather
- Your country of residence and where you actually work.
- A description of the services or products you sell.
- Whether your customers are businesses or individuals, and their countries.
- Any shareholders, existing business structure and your planned timing.
