The purpose of the commercial registry database is to organise and keep up to date information on the legal status of the entities subject to such registration with a view to the security of legal transactions, on the terms and for the purposes provided for by law, and it may not be used for any other purpose incompatible with that purpose.
A base de dados do registo comercial tem por finalidade organizar e manter actualizada a informação respeitante à situação jurídica das entidades sujeitas a tal registo com vista à segurança do comércio jurídico, nos termos e para os efeitos previstos na lei, não podendo ser utilizada para qualquer outra finalidade com aquela incompatível.
The purpose limitation (organising and updating information on the legal status of registered entities for the security of legal transactions) and the bar on incompatible use are retained.
We file registrations at the commercial registry for foreign-owned companies: incorporations, share transfers, manager changes, capital changes, branches, filing of accounts and closures. In English, fixed fees, with the registry fee shown separately.
