FOREIGN OPERATIONS START UP

Brazil is a promising country for investments, business opportunities, inexpensive, yet sophisticated and high-caliber labor (very often for exceptional abilities and managerial positions) and for a skilled and unskilled workforce.

Aside from that, Brazil is rich with natural resources, and is one of the most preferred markets for direct foreign investment from Europe and North America in the past years.

The country has been enjoying a sustained growth period for years, and has been increasing its exports significantly since export policies were de-bureaucratized and encouraged with incentives.

In keeping with our mission, we support and aid new entry level companies as they set up business in Brazil. We explore options, provide smart alternatives and maintenance efforts throughout the entire start-up phase. Staying with our mission, we make new investment entrants realize the greatest value of investing in the Brazilian market at a low cost.

We offer advice for:

All types of incorporation - the Limitada is the most common in Brazil for foreign investments (Limited Liability Company - LLC). There are other available forms of incorporation, from sole proprietorship to S.A. (IPO, C or S Corporation). We incorporate, document articles of incorporations and other related services.

Needs assessments are required so that differences between one type of incorporation over another can be precisely understood. Before incorporating in Brazil, we advise our clients to carry out an in-depth study on tax, labor and social structure, as well as Value Added Tax (VAT).

We are tax lawyers, accountants and certified tax advisers that address those concerns on a local and worldwide level, minimizing costs and personal stress.
