Frequently asked questions

Can a non-resident foreigner set up a company in Portugal?

Yes. Any individual or legal entity can set up a company. Each shareholder needs a Portuguese NIF and, depending on the route, must attend the registry desk or sign digitally.

For Empresa na Hora, all shareholders must attend. Online, you sign with the Digital Mobile Key or eIDAS; when shareholders are represented under a power of attorney, only the attorney signs.

What is the minimum share capital?

Each quota must be at least €1. A single-member company can have €1 of capital; a company with two shareholders, €2.

How much is the registry fee?
