What type of company is best for holding assets in Portugal? [Reddit]

Answer

The choice of legal form does not have a single answer: it depends on the type of assets you want to move, the volume of funds and your long-term objectives. A holding company or an asset-holding company tends to fit well when you are looking for order, protection and professional management of the fruit of your work. The important thing is that the structure responds to your real situation and not to a generic formula, because every estate has its own needs.
