RENT OF ADDRESSES FOR THE COMPANY. VIRTUAL OFFICE IN PORTUGAL
Opening a business in Europe is a strategic step for Ukrainian entrepreneurs seeking to enter the international market, optimize taxation, and increase customer trust.
Portugal, with its stable economy, loyal tax legislation, and transparent business system, is becoming one of the most popular destinations for company registration.
However, renting a physical office in Portugal may not be practical at the start, especially for IT startups, online stores or companies that work remotely.
The ideal solution in such cases is a virtual office – a service that allows you to get a prestigious legal address for business registration without the need to rent a real office.
The law firm “Prykhodko & Partners” specializes in company registration in Portugal and offers comprehensive virtual office solutions.
A virtual office is a service that provides a company with a legal address for official registration, as well as additional services for comfortable business operations.

- Legal address – the official registration of the company in the local registry (Conservatória do Registo Comercial).
- Receiving correspondence – receiving letters, tax notices, legal documentation.
- Mail forwarding – is the ability to send documents to anywhere in the world.
- Scanning and electronic archiving – digital copies of important documents.
- Additional services – telephone number, access to meeting rooms, accounting support.

- Online stores and e-commerce business.
- Startups that want to register in the EU with minimal costs.
- Investors planning to obtain a residence permit or “golden visa”.
- Trading companies that work with European clients.
