For founders and company owners
Your company does not move just because you do.
You can change your own residence in an afternoon. Your company's tax residence is a different question, and it is the one the day-counters never ask.
What you’re up against
Two tax residences, not one
You plan your own days. But the moment you run the company from a new country, that country can claim the company too, through place of effective management. Now you have a personal move and a corporate one, and only one of them was on the plan.
The PE trap no calculator flags
Schengen counters and 183-day trackers stop at 'can you stay?'. None of them ask whether signing contracts or making board decisions from Lisbon creates a permanent establishment that pulls profit into Portugal's net.
CFC rules reaching back home
Structuring the company in a low-tax jurisdiction only helps if your new home's controlled-foreign-company rules do not simply tax the profit anyway. The structure and the residence have to be designed together, or the saving is imaginary.
Priced between a tax return and a concierge
A filer looks backwards; a 25k concierge is overkill. Nobody in that gap maps company, residence, banking and tax as one interlocking system at a price a founder can justify.
How this works for you
The company layer, actually modelled
The design assesses your corporate exposure directly: where the company sits, where you would run it from, and whether that risks place-of-effective-management or a permanent establishment in your new base. This is the layer competitors leave out.
Design your setup→A portfolio, not a single answer
See several whole-life configurations side by side (UAE residence with an Estonian company, Portugal residence with local substance, and more), each with the company question named up front, not buried in a footnote.
See the configurations→Run the year forward
Lay your days across a 365-day calendar and the builder flags company-management risk alongside the Schengen clock and personal tax residence, before you book the flights.
Model the year→Cheap questions for an expensive specialist
The design is what makes the professional consultation short. You arrive with the PE question already framed, instead of paying someone by the hour to find it.
A worked example
A UK founder with a Ltd, 200 days in Lisbon
Sample data, verification pending.
You hold a UK passport and a UK limited company. The plan is Lisbon, roughly 200 days a year, keep the Ltd, keep the clients.
The day-counters are happy: 200 days clears Portugal's 183-day line, so you will be personally tax-resident there. Fine, you expected that. What they do not say is that running the Ltd's board and signing its contracts from a Lisbon flat can make Portugal the company's place of effective management too. Now HMRC and Portugal can both reach the company, and a UK exit charge and the Portuguese corporate rate are suddenly both in play.
That is the question the design surfaces on day one: not 'can you stay 200 days?' (you can) but 'what happens to the Ltd when you do?'. Figures below are illustrative sample data, and cross-border corporate tax turns on treaty detail, so this frames the specialist conversation rather than replacing it.
