Set up a FMCG Company in Portugal

FMCG or the fast-moving consumer goods sector as it is known is for sure one of the generous and prolific fields in Portugal because it covers a wide range of products that are directed to everyone. Foodstuff, cosmetics, household, and hygiene products are of high importance, therefore, it is a good idea to implement your activities in the FMCG sector in Portugal. We invite you to talk to our team of lawyers in Portugal in order to find out information about how you can open a company in Portugal in the FMCG sector.

 

 

Because the limited liability company is the most common structure for most of the activities, also known as a Portuguese LDA, a company in the FMCG sector can be easily established if the following requirements are respected:

 

• • at least two shareholders and a minimum share capital of EUR 5,000 are necessary for the LLC in Portugal; 
• • a board of managers appointed by the owners will run the company with activities in the FMCG sector in Portugal. 
• • one should observe the tax requirements for a business in Portugal, meaning that a VAT registration is necessary;
• • if you are hiring staff, please observe the social contributions in this sense.

 

 

Investors from abroad who are interested in generating high revenues in the retail sector should direct the attention to the FMCG sector and its large opportunities.
