GrowIN Portugal

About GrowIN Portugal

Operating from Faro since 2018, this Algarve company helps people from abroad move to, live in and do business in Portugal. It combines an online knowledge base and planning tools with fixed-price services carried out remotely by an in-house team of certified accountants, together with partner immigration lawyers for matters needing legal advice. Services are published in Portuguese, English and Arabic, and the company reports having served over a thousand clients. Its offering follows the client journey: tax numbers and social security registration, residence visa applications, tax residency registration, incorporation of a Portuguese company without travel, and then recurring accounting, secretarial and VAT work. It also hosts early-stage founders as an accredited partner of the national Startup Visa programme. Every service is priced openly in a catalogue, which is unusual among local firms, and bundles combine several steps at a reduced total.

Services

Remote incorporation of an Lda or single-shareholder company includes the company tax number, registration documents and a few hours of advisory support, with government fees charged at cost. Ongoing work covers monthly accounting, company secretary and compliance duties, quarterly VAT declarations, corporate tax returns and a registered address. Individuals can order tax numbers, social security numbers, tax residency registration, annual personal income tax returns and residence visa, renewal, permanent residency or citizenship files. The team also guides clients towards digital banks and traditional banks for business accounts.
