Brazil is quickly emerging as a powerhouse in South America.

It’s home to roughly half of the region’s wealth and is heavily investing in large infrastructure projects to boost its economy. So, it’s no wonder businesses are setting their sights on it for international expansion.

But with a complicated tax system, varying legislations and high set-up costs, succeeding in Brazil requires strong market knowledge. So, what do you need to know?

We’re teaming up Grupo Planus and Novatrade to share the steps you need to take to begin doing business in Brazil and how you can get the support to make it easy.

Join us to learn how to:

  • Set up a company in Brazil.
  • Navigate the complex tax regulation and labour laws.
  • Find the best route to market with an alternative market entry strategy.
