Portugal Your business

Start your business in Portugal: WordPress developer

You build WordPress websites, develop custom functionality and maintain client installations. To establish your business in Portugal, distinguish client services from any sales of your own plugins or themes. Describe maintenance subscriptions, licences and hosting expenses you manage, as these sit alongside website project revenue and help explain the operating model of your planned business.

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.
