Your company has money
- Corporate bank account

What foreign companies ask first.
Do I need to travel to Brazil?
No. The incorporation is completed with a power of attorney signed abroad, apostilled and translated by a sworn translator.
Do I need a local partner or someone resident in Brazil?
No local partner: since 2019 a Brazilian limited company can have a single shareholder. The company does need an administrator resident in Brazil, and we can fill that role.
Do I really need a subsidiary?
Not always. To test the market you can hire through an employer of record or import through an importer of record. We tell you honestly which option fits your plan.
Is there a minimum capital?
There is no general statutory minimum for a Ltda. The right amount depends on your activity, your bank and the licences you need.
How long does it take?
Plan for three to six weeks for a foreign-owned company. Document legalisation, the registry and the bank account are the longest steps.
Which costs come on top of your fees?
Official fees are included in the creation price. Sworn translations are billed separately. A regulated activity or specific licences can add costs, and we put them in the written quote before you commit.
Can the company open a bank account if I live abroad?
Yes, the Brazilian company opens its own account. Banks ask for documents on the shareholders and the group, and the time this takes varies by bank. We prepare the file and follow it up.
How is the capital brought in from abroad?
Foreign capital is sent by international transfer and must be declared to the Central Bank of Brazil. We handle the declaration with your bank.
Which tax regime will the company be under?
It depends on your activity and expected revenue. A company owned by a foreign legal entity cannot use the simplified Simples Nacional regime, so the choice is usually between presumed profit and real profit. Your accountant confirms it before the first filing.
Which documents do I need to provide?
The corporate documents of your parent company, the identity documents of the shareholders and of the representative, and a description of the planned activity. Foreign documents are apostilled and translated by a sworn translator.
Can I hire people as soon as the company exists?
Once the tax ID and the registrations are in place, yes. Payroll and employee registration can be handled through our optional services.
What if I later want to close the company?
Closing a Brazilian company requires a formal dissolution and tax clearances, and it can take months. It is worth planning for it before incorporating, and we can explain the steps.
What responsibility does a resident administrator carry?
An administrator can be held liable toward the Brazilian authorities for the acts they sign. That is why the role is set out in writing: what is decided on your instructions, what needs your approval, and what is never signed. We explain the terms before you commit.
Tell us what you plan to do in Brazil.
You get a written proposal with scope, price and timeline.
