Franchising
Open your own firm under a brand that is already built
Best Account franchising lets you start your own accounting business in Portugal with a low entry investment and without the usual risks of starting from nothing.
A system already built, waiting for you
Security and profitability in a business of your own are possible. The Best Account model lets you start trading with a low investment, cutting the risks that normally come with going it alone.
As a franchisee you have immediate access to the knowledge the network has built up, to the technology behind it, to the lower costs that come from sharing a structure, and to strategic guidance for growing your firm at a steady pace.
There is no wheel to reinvent here. You join a growing system, with the brand and the central team on your side.
What you gain by joining the network

You do not have to invent the method. You step into a system that already works across five offices.

Support from day one
Technical and commercial support, with a consultant dedicated to the running of your office.
Initial and ongoing training

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a certified accountant to open an office?
It is not compulsory, but you do need training in Accounting, Management or Economics and a team that includes a contabilista certificado (certified accountant). Registration with the Ordem dos Contabilistas Certificados (the Portuguese professional body for certified accountants) is required of whoever signs off the accounts.
How much do I need to invest?
It depends on the area and the size of the office. The model was designed with a low entry point for the sector, because the technology and the processes are already in place. Exact figures are presented at the meeting.
Does the network bring in clients, or do I have to find them myself?
Both. Enquiries are passed on from the brand and from head office, but the growth of the office also depends on the franchisee's own commercial work in their area.
Which areas are available?
We are present in Lisbon, Porto, Matosinhos, Viana do Castelo and Carregado. There are areas still to open across the country. Tell us where you are thinking of setting up and we will confirm availability.
