# What if we want our own company in Portugal later?

Many companies stay on Employer of Record in Portugal for the long term. If you outgrow it, we tell you, and a private limited company (Lda) is the usual form for a local entity.

Moving employees to your own company is not automatic: they sign new contracts with the new company and end their contracts with ours. We handle that move, including the new contracts and paperwork, and make it as simple as possible.
