Portugal Your business
Start your business in Portugal: Graphic designer
You create visual identities and communication materials for clients. To structure your business in Portugal, describe commissioned services, collaborations and any sales of your own graphic resources. Also indicate whether you manage printing or only design: the purchases, deliverables and parties involved may differ, and your project should reflect the work your business will actually handle.

Portugal
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.
