You have conquered your dreams of starting and running a successful business in the United States. Now, you want to push on and expand that business into Brazil. While commendable and certainly achievable, there are some things you will have to learn and do differently, with this part of your business. Unless you have a strong background in the customs of Brazil, including business taxes and law, you are going to need some help.
Business structures may be different than what you are accustomed to in the US. There will be taxes to deal with, both here, on your foreign earnings, and in Brazil, as well. Income, payroll, and sales tax are all issues that may have very different filing requirements, down south. Even an accountant in the US may not know what is required in Brazil.
The same is true for the legal requirements in a foreign country. Setting up corporations or partnerships may be drastically different than what you have established stateside. The same setup may not garner the same benefits in Brazil that it does in the States.
If you truly want to do business in Brazil, you will need to factor in all of these things. You could do the research yourself, but there is no guarantee you will not overlook some important detail. It will also take you considerably longer to complete on your own. That is why it is important to hire qualified consultants who can guide you through the entire process. With the experience and connections they have, your Brazilian startup will be up and running before you know it.
