Portugal Your business
Start your business in Portugal: Mobile developer
You develop mobile applications for clients or for your own business. Your planned structure in Portugal should distinguish these two activities, even when they use the same skills. Describe client assignments and maintenance agreements, then explain distribution, subscriptions or other actual revenue streams for any applications you own and intend to operate through the business.

- Publishing your own applications with sales, subscriptions or other revenue streams.

- Which maintenance contracts would you manage from 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.
