Portugal Your business
Start your business in Portugal: B2B events agency
You organise seminars, customer meetings or business events in Portugal. Explain your agency's role in bookings and purchases: selling coordination has different funding needs from reselling a complete event package.
Let’s discuss your project
A few details to understand your business and the next step.

01 / Your business
How you earn shapes the questions to ask
- Designing seminars and business meetings.
- Coordinating venues, suppliers and speakers.
- Managing registrations and on-site event delivery.
Connect the budget to actual commitments
Take a two-day seminar and list signed commitments for venue, equipment, catering, reception and speakers. Record deposit dates, balances and cancellation terms. The budget should still be understandable if the client changes attendance or postpones.
Assign responsibility for checking venue capacity, permitted use and event formalities. The gov.pt guide directs operators to procedures according to the activity. If you add transport or accommodation, have that offer assessed separately. Prepare a running order, responsibility chart and payment schedule before pricing coordination. Make clear which supplier changes require the customer's approval so an operational decision does not silently alter the budget.
02 / Next steps for your project
Questions to prepare your application
- Does the client contract with suppliers or only with your agency?
- Which deposits must you advance before the event?
- Does the service include food, transport or accommodation?

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.
