Portugal Your business
Start your business in Portugal: Online trainer
You sell remote training to businesses or individual learners. To organise your activity in Portugal, distinguish live teaching from recorded courses and associated support. Describe the subjects taught, delivery tools and sales agreements: the project should show who buys, what is delivered and how you personally contribute to the training your planned business would provide.

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.
