What is included

The formation, and the twelve months after it

One fixed fee for both. The obligations of a Portuguese company start on the day it is registered, so the first year is priced with it.

Formation

A registered company

The same scope as Company formation.

  • NIF for up to two shareholders
  • Name certificate handled
  • Articles drafted for your structure
  • Incorporation and commercial registration
  • RCBE and activity codes
First year

Twelve months kept in order

From the day of registration.

  • Certified accountant for twelve months
  • Registered address receiving official post
  • Every statutory filing for the year
  • Bank file prepared, two introductions made
  • Payment institution set up so you can invoice immediately
  • Payments on account forecast before they arrive

Fees are for a straightforward structure with up to two individual shareholders. Apostilles, certified translations and notarial acts abroad are arranged in your own country, and we tell you exactly which ones you need. Questions beyond the questionnaire are answered in a written memo at a fixed price.

Questions

Before you request it

What exactly is included in the €2,400?

The formation: Portuguese tax numbers for up to two shareholders, the name certificate, articles drafted for your structure, incorporation and commercial registration, the RCBE and the activity codes. Then the first twelve months: a certified accountant, a registered address that receives official post, every statutory filing for the year, the bank file prepared with two introductions, a payment institution so you can invoice at once, and the payments on account forecast before they fall due.

What are the state fees?

They are paid at cost: €220 for Empresa Online 2.0 or €360 for Empresa na Hora, plus €75 for the name certificate. The RCBE filing costs nothing.

Do I need to come to Portugal?

No. Each shareholder signs electronically, or we act under a power of attorney signed abroad, apostilled and translated.

Why include the first year at all?

So the whole calendar is covered from the day the company exists, not only from the day it starts trading. A Portuguese company with organised accounts has a certified accountant signing for it from incorporation and files its corporate tax return and the IES from its first year, and the package handles all of it.

What happens after twelve months?

Accounting and corporate secretarial work continue as a monthly subscription, at a fixed price agreed in writing before the first year ends.

What if the company grows faster than planned?

Move to the EU Landing Programme. Everything paid to us in the last 6 months is credited against it.
