This is done to fill the gap observable in Enterprise Architecture literature in smaller companies. As such, several Models were created, using the Archimate Methodology and further evaluated by four companies. It was discovered that Small Businesses outsource a large number of their non-core activities and that they lack experience with regards to more exceptional processes. It was concluded that Small Businesses in Portugal possess a level of Enterprise Architecture comparable to academic best practices.engEnterprise architectureArchimateWeb-reliant portuguese smesSmall businessmaster thesis201716240
