Can I set up an asset-holding company in Portugal while keeping my business in Spain? [Reddit]

Answer

Yes, you can combine your operating company in Spain with an asset-holding company abroad that manages your savings and investments in a completely separate way. That separation is what organises and protects your personal wealth from the risk of day-to-day business activity. Living off the business and protecting what you have accumulated are not opposing objectives, but two sides of the same coin that should be managed through different structures. Combining them well requires knowing the regulations of both jurisdictions and declaring each part transparently. Filnet, with local Spanish-speaking advisors who are experts in wealth structures, assesses your specific case and structures this separation for you in a legal and stable way. It maintains ongoing accounting and tax management within the law, so you can protect your wealth with security and control without neglecting your business. Doing this in Portugal has a setup cost starting from , a timeframe of 4-8 weeks and a corporate tax rate of IRC 21%.
