Yunit Consulting, a Portuguese consultancy that assists companies in accessing financial and tax incentives, plans to acquire up to two firms in 2025 to boost growth and expand its regional reach. CEO Bernardo Maciel anticipates the company will exceed €3 million in revenue this year, driven by nearly 20% growth between 2023 and 2024.
The acquisitions aim to bring in complementary expertise and strengthen Yunit's presence in key economic regions such as Minho, Aveiro, and Leiria.
Maciel has mentioned that two to three acquisition opportunities are currently under discussion, with at least one expected to be finalized by year-end. These deals will be funded through equity capital.
Maciel also highlights the need for improved merger and acquisition (M&A) incentives in Portugal, particularly through the Banco Português de Fomento (BPF).
Yunit also emphasizes the complexity and underutilization of tax benefits for companies. Maciel notes that over 400 tax incentives, including the Sifide program for R&D, are available but often ignored, especially by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). He advocates for better awareness and more rigorous evaluation of these mechanisms to improve competitiveness and attract investment in Portugal.
