How can our EOR services support your expansion into Portugal?

Conveniently located in the South-West of Europe, Portugal provides easy trade access to Africa, South America, and the surrounding European countries. This makes Portugal’s ports bustling business hubs that are incredibly attractive to growing businesses. However, it isn’t just Portugal excellent geographic location that make it a target for business expansion. While perhaps not one of the first European countries that comes to mind when we think of leading economies, Portugal does in fact have one of the strongest, most resilient economies in Europe, largely due to its thriving tourism industry, strong markets and continued investment in its ports and trade routes. Meanwhile, the country is home to some of the most prestigious universities including engineering and medical schools, placing it at the heart of innovation and producing an incredibly skilled workforce.

While it is apparent that Portugal can provide an abundance of opportunities for expanding businesses, setting up a legal entity in Portugal can also create an abundance of problems.

  • Organise employee benefits

By using an EOR to manage the employment of your international hires, you can compliantly expand into Portugal without a legal entity.
