BRIDGE IN

BRIDGE IN is a specialized market entry and expansion partner that helps international companies, particularly technology firms, establish and grow their presence in Portugal and across Europe. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Lisbon, the company offers comprehensive Employer of Record (EOR) services, payroll management, and business incorporation solutions designed to streamline the complexities of European market entry. As experts in Portuguese labor regulations, BRIDGE IN handles all back-office operations including payroll processing, insurance administration, employee benefits management, and tax compliance, enabling organizations to focus on their core business objectives while ensuring full regulatory adherence.

The company's service portfolio encompasses multiple engagement models tailored to different business needs and growth stages. Their EOR services allow companies to hire and manage employees in Portugal without establishing a local legal entity, significantly reducing time-to-market and administrative burden. For organizations seeking a more permanent presence, BRIDGE IN provides full business incorporation services and foreign employer registration support. Additionally, their Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model offers a strategic pathway for companies to establish, scale, and eventually assume control of their Portuguese operations, combining the speed of outsourcing with the long-term benefits of owned infrastructure.

What distinguishes BRIDGE IN is their deep local expertise combined with a practical understanding of the challenges international companies face when expanding into new markets. Their team serves as a trusted bridge between global organizations and the Portuguese business environment, navigating cultural nuances, regulatory frameworks, and operational requirements that can otherwise create significant barriers to entry. Whether supporting a single remote employee or facilitating the establishment of an entire European hub, BRIDGE IN provides the infrastructure, compliance knowledge, and operational support necessary for successful market expansion, allowing companies to test new markets, scale teams efficiently, and maintain operational flexibility while building their European presence.
