AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURS IN PORTUGAL
OCTOBER 2026
LISBON
Areia Global is hosting a full-day program for American entrepreneurs and business owners doing business in Portugal. The program brings together U.S. and Portuguese specialists to cover the legal, tax, and operational questions that arise when Americans build and run businesses here, questions that typically fall between the U.S. accountant who doesn't know Portugal and the Portuguese lawyer who doesn't know the IRS.
The sessions cover entity structure, tax, hiring, and compensation, with dedicated time on the accounting and operational realities of running a Portuguese company. Each session addresses both sides: what the Portuguese rules require and what the U.S. implications are. The content is built for founders and early stage operators, before the compliance gaps become expensive.
Topics include how to structure a Portuguese business as a U.S. person, U.S. reporting obligations that attach to foreign companies and foreign bank accounts, how Portugal's tax system interacts with U.S. tax obligations, how to hire and pay people correctly, and how to pay yourself efficiently across both systems.
