Portugal Your business
Start your business in Portugal: SEO consultant
You deliver audits, technical optimisation or ongoing SEO support for clients. When planning your business in Portugal, describe the contracts you want to continue, where your clients are based and how you work. If you also run your own websites, identify their revenue separately from the consulting services you invoice.

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.
