How can I create a holding company in Portugal to protect my investments? [Reddit]

Answer

A holding company is a legal structure that groups your shares and assets under a single entity, which organises and consolidates your entire estate into a single management point. It allows you to separate business risk from personal assets, so that a problem in the business doesn't compromise what you've already built. Furthermore, concentrating management simplifies decisions and gives you a clear and controlled view of each asset. For that protection to work, the structure must be set up correctly and kept up to date every year, not just be a simple initial formality.

This way you protect what you've already achieved and gain security and control over your investments without having to deal with the administrative management. Doing it in Portugal has an incorporation cost from , a timeframe of 4-8 weeks and a corporate tax rate of IRC 21%.
