Do I need to be a large company to open a branch in Portugal or can a regular self-employed person do it? [Reddit]
Answered by a local advisor in English, no commitment.
Answer
You don't have to be a multinational, far from it, to take this step. Many small businesses and self-employed people make their first international leap to Portugal with the right support and without huge budgets. At Filnet they study your specific case, your size and your goals, and tell you whether it fits and how to make it simple. They won't set up a big company structure if your project doesn't need one, but rather what genuinely works for you. You also don't have to tie yourself in knots with paperwork, because they organise it for you step by step and guide you through every procedure. Being small is not an obstacle, it's precisely the profile for which this support is most worthwhile.
