Empresa na Hora is completed in a single appointment, but that appointment must be booked in advance through the SIGA scheduling system (agendamento.gov.pt / gov.pt), and desk availability is limited — slots are often weeks or months out. So "na hora" (on the spot) describes the appointment, not the wait to secure one; the effective lead time is the appointment date. Remote incorporation (Empresa Online, roughly 1-2 weeks) is frequently faster in practice.●VERIFIED ·

Notes
Grounded: Empresa na Hora is the Espaco Empresa service that requires SIGA scheduling (siga.marcacaodeatendimento.pt); the incorporation itself is same-appointment. The CONSTRAINT (limited slots) is asserted; the LIVE waiting time is dynamic (a spot-check found the next availability ~November) and is deliberately NOT fixed here. It is now watched by scripts/watch-siga.mjs (npm run watch:siga), which snapshots to scripts/state/siga-empresa-na-hora.json and reports next-available date + waiting-days per district — the live source of the waiting time. HONEST LIMIT (verified 2026-08-31): SIGA appointment availability sits behind Google reCAPTCHA + authentication (Chave Movel Digital / Seguranca Social), so it is not machine-queryable without a session; the watcher therefore probes SIGA reachability, records the gate it hits, and degrades to a manual-check fallback rather than fabricating a date. So treat any figure here as unverified until the watcher (or a human SIGA session) supplies it.
