02 Main difference

Modernising a shop is not the same as launching one

AspectCREA COMERCIOEMPRENEM COMERÇ
PurposeInvestments to modernise the establishmentRunning costs linked to new ownership or a newly launched activity
PremisesMay be new or have traded for yearsMust relate to a recent opening that meets the call
Typical costsWorks, installations, furniture, equipment and online salesStudies, consultancy, notary, registers and rent
Business ageNo specific minimum or maximum ageNo company age limit, but a recent change of ownership or activity is required

Has your shop been in the same premises for three years?

With the same owner and activity, that original opening will generally not qualify for EMPRENEM COMERÇ. If you plan an investment, CREA COMERCIO should be reviewed. An existing company may still consider EMPRENEM for another establishment that meets the conditions.
