Frequently asked questions
Do I need to come to Portugal to open the company?
Not necessarily. With a power of attorney and the right documents, the company can be formed without your presence.
What is the minimum share capital?
In a limited company (Lda.) the minimum is 1 euro per shareholder. The right amount depends on the activity and the credibility you want with banks and clients.
