Can I set up a company in Portugal without living here?
Yes. We handle incorporation through a power of attorney and explain what is needed regarding tax number, tax representation and bank account.
Which type of company should I choose?
It depends on the number of shareholders, the capital and the activity. We explain the differences between single-member, private limited and public limited companies for your case.
We have a dispute between shareholders. What should we do?
We start with the articles and existing agreements. We seek a negotiated exit and, if that is not possible, take the appropriate legal action.
