Portugal Your business
Start your business in Portugal: Data engineer
You build infrastructure that collects, transforms and makes business data available. To prepare your activity in Portugal, describe long-running projects, maintenance and the cloud services involved. Specify who owns the environments and pays for usage, as well as your role in client teams: these details shape the agreements you would continue or enter into through the planned business.

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.
