Portugal Your business

Start your business in Portugal: Digital product seller

You sell templates, ebooks or other downloadable resources. To prepare your business in Portugal, describe the products, sales channels and countries where buyers are based. Distinguish catalogue resources from commissioned work, and specify who contracts with the end customer when sales go through a distribution platform, so the planned business reflects how each revenue stream is generated.

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.
