UR Global in Portugal

About UR Global

With its own offices in eleven countries across Europe, Latin America, North Africa and the United States, this consultancy manages the back office of foreign subsidiaries. Its Lisbon team serves companies from abroad, most often Spanish groups, that need a local entity run on their behalf. The firm states that it has set up more than 600 subsidiaries over roughly 25 years and handles legal, accounting, tax, employment and administrative matters from a single office. Services extend to transfer pricing studies, statutory audit support, outsourced CFO work, expatriate taxation and startup programmes. A Milan office is being opened to help Italian businesses expand overseas, and the website is published in Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and Italian. Clients typically include medium-sized businesses with an international presence that want one partner coordinating compliance in each country where they operate and reporting back to headquarters.
