The 12 questions Chinese companies ask before entering Brazil

beonshore provides business and technology consulting: market study and entry assessment, legal and regulatory requirements mapping, digital presence for Brazil, go-to-market and sales channel, local presence and ongoing support. We do not provide legal, accounting, customs or immigration services; we do not open your company, your bank account or your visa. We map what is required and introduce the licensed professional who executes it, contracting directly with you.

Licensed Brazilian lawyers and accountants. The requirements roadmap lists, item by item, which type of professional is needed, the indicative lead time and cost range, and we introduce vetted partners. They contract directly with you and are responsible for their work; we coordinate progress and communication.

The consulting route is 12 weeks: market study and entry assessment in weeks 1–4, requirements roadmap and introductions in weeks 3–6, digital presence live in weeks 6–10, go-to-market in weeks 8–12. Legal and certification steps are executed by licensed professionals with indicative lead times of 30–45 days for company formation to operation, 60–120 days for INMETRO certification and 90–180 days for ANATEL.

Market study and requirements roadmap are fixed fees; digital presence is a project; go-to-market is project plus monthly; local support is a monthly retainer. Everything is invoiced in Brazilian reais (BRL) by a Brazilian entity, and the quote is sent within 2 business days of the discovery call. Licensed professionals quote their fees directly to you; they are not included in ours.
