Guides from the team.
We're writing the posts we wish existed when we first helped founders set up in Madeira. First pieces land over the coming weeks.
Coming soon
The first articles are being drafted by the Madeira Friends team — real operator experience, not research-desk summaries. In the meantime, message us on WhatsApp if you have a specific question we should cover.
What we're writing about
- Setting up a Portuguese LDA as a non-resident, end to end
- Unipessoal vs LDA: which to pick and why it matters
- Opening a Portuguese business bank account from abroad
- Working with a Portuguese certified accountant (contabilista)
- What a real virtual office contract looks like — in plain language
- Living and working in Funchal Old Town as a founder
