Portugal Your business

Start your business in Portugal: YouTuber

You operate a YouTube channel and may earn revenue from several activities. To prepare your move to Portugal, separate advertising payments, sponsor contracts, affiliate commissions and your own products. Also describe production expenses and the people working on the channel: the proposed company should reflect all these streams and the agreements you already have with platforms or brands.

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.
