It depends. In some cases it is and in other cases we are able to negotiate better terms as we do this at scale. What is priceless is the stress and time reduction and the risk of making big mistakes when doing it yourself. It depends on how valuable that is to you. Portugal is notorious for being slow and incredibly beauracratic. Our services make that far less painful for you. It’s also worth speaking with us about group discounts. If you refer others, we can often do a deal. Get in touch.
