Portugal Your business
Start your business in Portugal: Plugin, theme and software seller
You sell plugins, themes or software that you develop or commission. To prepare a company in Portugal, distinguish licence sales, renewals and custom development services. Describe direct or marketplace distribution, the accounts involved and the support included, so the project explains the revenue and commitments attached to your products and the business you intend to establish.

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.
