Justin is a designer. Before moving to Portugal, he was involved in interior design, but now he would like to create decorative vases. Justin is willing to allocate €4,000 to start the project but is not ready to open a full-scale company yet. He believes it's better to start as a sole entrepreneur or self-employed. Which of these two business forms would you advise Justin to choose?

Which of these two business forms would you advise Justin to choose?
The answer is incorrect because Justin plans to create and sell products, and decorative vases. For this reason, the self-employed status is not suitable for Justin. He needs to register as a sole entrepreneur.
The answer is incorrect. Yes, the self-employed status is not suitable for Justin because he plans to create and sell products, and decorative vases. However, not all types of sole proprietorship are suitable for Justin. He will not be able to register as an Individual Limited Liability Establishment because he lacks €1,000 for the statutory capital.
The answer is correct. Yes, the self-employed status is not suitable for Justin because he plans to create and sell products, and decorative vases. Also, Justin will not be able to register as an Individual Limited Liability Establishment because he lacks €1,000 for the statutory capital.
