Portugal · Company formation

Service scope

Review entity options, shareholder and management requirements, then coordinate formation documents and official registration.

Original general planning guidance; not destination-specific legal, tax or licensing advice.

Basic conditions

• Select a pre-approved name or RNPC name certificate and model articles. All proposed members attend the counter; settle accountant and capital arrangements. Foreign corporate documents and authority need case review.

Required documents

• Individuals provide identity and NIF. Corporate members provide identification, authorising resolution, representative identity and current formation documents/articles. Foreign translation, authentication and obtaining Portuguese tax IDs need confirmation.

Process

• Choose name/articles, attend with all members, sign and register, receive articles and registry/card access codes plus social-security number, then complete applicable tax, capital and ownership steps.

Official processing time and starting conditions

The official service combines formation in one counter visit without a fixed minute guarantee. Complete documents and commencement of counter service are prerequisites; appointments, corrections, banking, permits and tax are excluded.

These are government and official authority fee references for the stated circumstances, not the complete cost. They exclude our service fees and unlisted third-party costs. A full plan follows a review of your needs.
