Who it is for

Many kinds of business need a licence (official permission) before they can start work. If you buy a business, the licence may pass to you. If not, you may have to apply for a new one. For businesses that serve the public, and especially for risky activities such as some sports, the forms and rules can be hard to follow.

What happens

  • A lawyer talks with you about your plans.
  • You get a report on the steps, the likely costs and the chances of success.
  • If you agree, the application is started and followed through.
  • Tax and accounting help can follow afterwards.

  • Portuguese is not a language I speak, and the lawyer was exceptional and thoroughly professional in every respect; his English is perfect. He added value to our business and also gave up much of his own time to explain further things that have helped both me and my company. I will gladly recommend him to the partners in my business who plan to open accounts in Portugal, and I will use him again for my own future ventures. It was five-star treatment all the way.
