Brief

“We're a US startup hiring two engineers in Portugal.”

Generic AI

You may want to consider using an Employer of Record or setting up a local entity. Consult a tax professional for specific advice.

Daniel’s mind

Main risk: a permanent establishment in Portugal if the engineers negotiate contracts. Under 5 hires, use an EOR and keep sales authority in the US. Confidence: high. Revisit at 5 hires or €1M local revenue.
