Why incorporate in Portugal
Tech founders relocating to Lisbon or Porto
The IFICI (Portuguese IP regime) regime (the 2024 successor to NHR (Portuguese non habitual resident) for tech, science and R&D workers) caps qualifying personal income at 20% for 10 years. Combined with the Tech Visa fast track for skilled hires, Portugal supports hands on founder relocation.
Bootstrapped SaaS or e commerce founders
The SME CIT rate of 17% applies on the first EUR 50K of profits, and incorporation runs EUR 1K-3.5K with EUR 1 minimum capital. Stripe and Wise are supported and accounts open in 7-21 days.
Founders building a Brazil Portugal corridor
Portugal's 79-DTA network includes a strong CPLP partnership with Brazil and shared language, with a participation exemption on qualifying dividends. Lisbon offers an EU base with fluent Portuguese commercial and legal infrastructure.
3 to 7 days end to end with a single point of contact
CorpSec handles the Portugal filing + statutory office + bookkeeping setup. You sign once and the partner network executes. Most founders go from engagement to operating company in 3 to 7 days.
