Thanks for sharing. Having recently arrived back in Portugal after 2 years out, I was finding it hard to describe or figure out the climate in Portugal for entrepreneurs. Just some thoughts: Entrepreneur Support: there is certainly a lack of support/opportunities/incentive for interpreneurs in Portugal. I definitely found it easier to start a business in England or in the US. In Los Angeles, for instance, there were even Non Profit Organizations whose mission is to help people start and run a business. They give (free or with a small charge) courses, seminars and workshops on all aspects of doing so (finance, accounting, self promotion, marketing, contracts, etc...). For example <a href="http://www.cciarts.org/," rel="nofollow">www.cciarts.org/,</a> and <a href="http://www.cnmsocal.org/" rel="nofollow">www.cnmsocal.org/</a>. I know that in Germany there is some kind of similar support given by the government or city councils, I am not sure. Yes, I think there is a lack of entrepreneur culture and you mention later in point 6. Anyways I wish there were more positive things to add, maybe we just need to build them up from the ground.. Best wishes and thanks for your article! Hi Nuno! Thanks for sharing.

I'm against using the green receipt book to hire "false" self-employed workers. jrs, that's far from the message I want to convey here in this post.
