Portugal Your business
Start your business in Portugal: Ghostwriter
You write for executives, creators or authors who publish under their own names. To establish your business in Portugal, specify the formats you sell, how collaboration works and the agreements already signed. Recurring social media writing, a commissioned manuscript and any payments linked to its subsequent use should be described as separate parts of your activity.

How you earn shapes the questions to ask
- Interviewing clients and writing social posts in their individual voice.
- Developing and drafting manuscripts from notes, interviews or recordings.
- Managing revisions, approvals and the delivery schedule agreed with each client.

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.
