Oporto Accounting was pleased to take part in the One Stop Shop Workshop, an initiative designed to support immigrant entrepreneurs and individuals interested in starting a business in Portugal. The workshop was organised by our long-standing partner INOVAGAIA, in collaboration with ADRITEM – Associação de Desenvolvimento Regional Integrado das Terras de Santa Maria, as part of the Centraliza + One Stop Shop project, with the support of Montepio and other strategic partners.
The One Stop Shop initiative promotes the economic and social inclusion of immigrants across Northern Portugal by bringing together access to entrepreneurship support, financial literacy, mentoring, training and business development services.
Oporto Accounting’s CEO, Bruno Varajão, and Chief Legal Officer, Pedro Mendes da Cunha, shared practical insights into the key legal, tax and accounting considerations for anyone planning to start a business in Portugal. The session covered how to choose the most suitable legal structure and register a business or self-employed activity, including the main requirements, registration process, expected costs and the practical differences between the available legal frameworks.
We also explored Portugal’s tax system and the ongoing accounting and tax obligations that entrepreneurs face, including key taxes, reporting requirements, important deadlines, and best practices to help businesses remain compliant from day one. Throughout the session, our aim was to provide clear, practical insights that participants could confidently apply as they begin and grow their entrepreneurial journey in Portugal.
Our goal was to help participants gain a clear and practical understanding of the legal and tax aspects of entrepreneurship, giving them greater confidence to start and grow their businesses in Portugal.
At Oporto Accounting, we are proud to support initiatives that promote financial literacy, entrepreneurship and the sustainable development of local communities. We believe that sharing knowledge is one of the best ways to help build a stronger, more inclusive and resilient economy.
