Portugal: 6 passos fundamentais

    Como abrir empresa em Portugal não sendo residente no país

    Pela estabilidade econômica do país português, oportunidades e diferentes ramos de possibilidade de investimentos, muitos estrangeiros não residentes são atraídos para começar um novo negócio e abrir uma empresa em Portugal.

    Para isso, é importante entender todas etapas burocráticas, implicações legais, analisar quais as possibilidades de empreender e investir no país, além de buscar informações dos critérios, requisitos e exigências para conseguir as devidas autorizações. Afinal, nenhum bom negócio inicia se não tiver um bom plano e estiver de acordo com a lei.

    E, para quem quer abrir empresa em Portugal, separamos algumas informações mais específicas, como um “guia” para que um estrangeiro também consiga abrir uma empresa no país. 

    Passo a passo para o estrangeiro abrir empresa em Portugal

    Um dos primeiros passos é entender o cenário do país português e analisar se é um contexto próspero para o setor do negócio que você busca iniciar no novo país, com nova cultura e normas sociais. 

    Em seguida é necessário buscar formas de investir, especializar-se no setor escolhido, construir o espaço, entender como prospectar e fazer um bom e estruturado estudo de mercado.

    Como abrir empresa em Portugal não sendo residente

    Uma das vantagens é que a pessoa que quer abrir uma empresa em Portugal independe de terceiros, nacionais ou não, sendo a única questão obrigatória é que um dos sócios precisa ser residente fiscal e legal no país. Porém, existem alguns requisitos básicos que são essenciais para quem busca começar um negócio em Portugal. 

    Não é obrigatório um visto de residência específico, porém é indispensável que o empresário tenha um número de contribuinte, conhecido como NIF. 

    Assim, é possível abrir uma empresa sendo português residente, não residente, sendo estrangeiro residente ou não residente, tendo autorização de residência ou nao tendo.

    O único ponto a se atentar é que pelo menos um dos sócios precisa residir fiscal e legalmente em Portugal. Caso não haja nenhum sócio residente fiscal e legalmente em Portugal, haverá que ser nomeado um representante que seja.

    10 passos para um estrangeiros abrir empresa em Portugal

    Quando se decide abrir uma empresa em Portugal, há que pensar:

    1. Será um ou mais sócios?
    2. Todos os sócios têm NIF (número de identificação fiscal em Portugal)? Caso negativo, é possível pedir um NIF à distância, por procuração;
    3. Algum dos sócios vive fiscal e legalmente em Portugal? Caso negativo, será necessário ter um representante. Este serviço, normalmente, implica um contrato de pagamento/avença mensal;
    4. 4. Será uma empresa de responsabilidade limitada ou ilimitada?
    5. Será necessário que os sócios e a empresa tenham uma conta bancária em Portugal. Ok? É possível abrir uma conta à distância, por procuração;
    6. Você gostaria de um nome específico da empresa ou poderia ser, por exemplo, a composição do primeiro e sobrenome dos sócios? Caso queira um nome específico, você terá que instruir um pedido de certificado de admissibilidade de nome empresarial ao Governo Português, antes da constituição da sua empresa. Em sendo concedida a autorização, você terá um tempo pré determinado para constituir a empresa, sob pena de caducidade da permissão para usar o nome desejado;
    7. Você tem um contabilista em Portugal? Quando constitui-se a empresa é necessário indicar quem será o contabilista, o que demanda você já ter pensado nisto e ter organizado a contratação deste profissional. Via de regra este é um serviço que também está atrelado ao pagamento/avença mensal. Caso não tenha nenhum profissional, o Governo indicará a sua empresa para um balcão de contabilistas, onde será designado um aleatoriamente.;
    8. Você tem um endereço comercial em Portugal? Caso não tenha, precisará de alguém para contratar uma morada comercial para você. Desejando contratar um escritório virtual, lembre-se que este tipo de serviço, normalmente, somente armazena as suas correspondências por 30 dias. Talvez seja necessário você contratar alguém para gerenciar as suas correspondências para você. Este serviço quase sempre está atrelado ao pagamento de uma avença mensal;
    9. Qual será a atividade da empresa? Esta informação é necessária para a definição dos CAES (Classificação Portuguesa de Atividades Econômicas), principais e secundários que precisam ser informados no ato de constituição da empresa. A empresa somente poderá exercer atividades que tenham sido previamente listadas com os CAES no ato da constituição. Esta definição é muito importante e convém ser em conjunto com um advogado e um contabilista;
    10. A atividade da empresa será desenvolvida apenas em Portugal ou também no exterior? Se você ainda não tiver a certeza se atuará internacionalmente, recomendamos que no objeto social da sua empresa, informe que poderá vir a exercer, para que não tenha problemas com a aprovação do governo para a constituição da empresa ou fique futuramente dependente de alterar o seu objeto social para poder atender a um cliente no exterior.

    Conclusão

    Com este artigo será possível entender o básico de como abrir uma empresa não sendo residente em Portugal. Para não correr riscos ou ter prejuízos desnecessários, é importante seguir todas as legalizações e regularidades exigidas pelo governo portugês para abrir sua empresa em Portugal.

    Vivian Perfeito is AMAZING!!! We had two previous immigration attorneys who failed us miserably and we were ready to throw in the towel. Our Realtor, Bruno Silva recommended Vivian and we decided to give it one last shot. She exceeded expectations and seamlessly helped us obtain our D7 visa and residency card. She accompanied us to the appointment, spent time managing our difficult case and was kind, professional and lovely to work with. Vivian is a ROCK STAR, i would recommend her to anyone going through this process. She is very intelligent, organized, a good communicator, and answers emails quickly. Our only regret is not finding her a year ago!

    I took a chance with going to see Vivian because I am hesitant about finding someone online. But, not knowing many people in PT, and after seeing Vivian speaking confidently and concisely on YouTube links and sharing knowledge generously, I made an appointment and went to see her about my current and future residency status. Vivian is a warm and intelligent lawyer, and gave me quality time, and quickly gained an insight into what would be the best way forward for me. We have just started the process but I feel confident she knows her stuff, and has my best interests at heart, a rare quality to find in any person.

    Hello my name is Randy Rava. I decided to move to Portugal 🇵🇹. I found Vivian Perfeito on internet. She is worth every penny. Vivian was there for me every step of the way. Her fees are very low, she was always there for me and she always answered my emails and gave me good direction. She is very honest and kind. She put in much more time with me and helped me in many ways. If you want to immigrate to Portugal 🇵🇹 without the help of a lawyer it would be foolish because of the many mistakes that you would make that would cost you valuable time and money. I found Vivian Perfeito and she is a blessing because she knows exactly what to do at every point in the process, her fees are very reasonable and she is very honest and reliable. Without her knowledge of Portuguese law I would have made mistake after mistake and would never have even known it. I highly recommend Vivian Perfeito Advogada extrordinare the finest most skilled lawyer in all of Portugal.

    So far I had one call with Dra. Vivian, and I could already see that she is a very nice person who is very knowledgable about her domain. She was able to answer all my questions as well as recommend other people to me who could help me. She actually cares about her client's cases and takes her time to study the case (via email) before joining the call to give the best experience. I highly recommend Dra. Vivian
    My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Vivian for drafting and reviewing a rental contract. Vivian's warmth, responsiveness, and genuine friendliness made the entire process a breeze for both of us. She not only showed incredible professionalism but also made us feel like valued clients every step of the way. With Vivian's expertise and delightful personality, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Vivian to anyone in need of legal assistance.

    My wife and I made a decision to start our immigration process in October of 2023. Vivian was recommended to us around that same time.We both appreciate everything Vivian has helped us with through the process. We are now waiting on our visa. Vivian has proved very knowledgeable and without her help, we would have struggled. Her communication has always been excellent and never missed a meeting. We communicated in English with no problems. Her dedication and experience are highly rated by us.
    Dr Vivian was incredibly kind to deal with. She is very confident and knows her job very well, preparing my emigration to Portugal. Her vast legal knowledge leaves me safe and confident in future decisions regarding the purchase or rental of property, avoiding the traps and tricks so common in this segment.
