How we picked
We list the cards we hold in Portugal that match this guide's category or card type, ordered by the welcome offer the page can print, then alphabetically. It is a shortlist, not a ranking — the quiz ranks cards on your own spending. Nothing here is pay-to-rank. Business cards appear only on business guides, student cards only on student guides, and prepaid cards on none. A figure we do not hold is shown as “Not confirmed”, never as a zero.

Questions
Frequently asked
What is the best credit card for self-employed sole traders in Portugal?
The best card for self-employed sole traders in Portugal depends on your exact spending and credit. The shortlist above holds 8 cards for this profile, each chosen because it fits self-employed sole traders: cards for the self-employed without a registered company — approval on personal identity and self-reported income, business-grade earn on software and supplies, and clean expense separation.
How did you choose these cards for self-employed sole traders?
We list the cards we hold in Portugal that match this guide's category or card type, ordered by the welcome offer the page can print, then alphabetically. It is a shortlist, not a ranking — the quiz ranks cards on your own spending. Nothing here is pay-to-rank.
Why do some cards show no annual fee figure?
Because we hold no confirmed figure for it. Our fee column used to default to zero, and many cards still carry a zero that no check has confirmed — so a zero on its own cannot be told apart from a field nobody filled in, and printing “€0” there would invent a price. A card shows a fee where a positive one is on record, or where a zero was confirmed against the issuer's terms; otherwise the slot reads “Not confirmed”, and the issuer's own page is the place to check before you apply.
