01

Business Model Assessment & Setup Requirements

We analyze your industry, sales channels, regulatory profile, and operating needs, then define the legal, tax, and import requirements to set up a company in Brazil.

Investment Planning & Entry Model Selection

We build an investment roadmap that compares different options:
– Direct company setup
– Company rental
– Shelf company acquisition
This lets you align expansion with your risk appetite, growth targets, and regulatory exposure.

03

Legal Setup & Infrastructure Execution

We execute the chosen setup path and deliver a fully operational structure including CNPJ registration, RADAR, Tax domicile, ERP implementation, banking setup and more.

04

Back-Office & Operational Management

Post-establishment, we can manage import, logistics, accountant management, payroll, compliance, and local team coordination—so you stay focused on sales and strategy, while we run the back-end.

  • “Novatrade was instrumental in launching Prodeval’s operations in Brazil—supporting us through every critical phase, from getting our RADAR import license and Ex-Tarifário tax exemption to developing a tailored price simulator for our projects.
    From the very beginning, the Novatrade team showed exceptional agility and a deep understanding of Brazil’s complex regulatory and operational landscape. Their management of customs, taxation, and logistics allowed us to stay focused on delivering our biogas upgrading solutions.
    As we grow, Novatrade remains a trusted partner—providing ongoing support across compliance, supply chain, and tax optimization. More than a service provider, they’ve become a key ally in our long-term success in Brazil.”

Client’s Success Stories

Challenge: Hygiena, a global leader in diagnostic technology, needed to accelerate its market entry in Brazil. However, setting up a local subsidiary was proving too slow to meet demand.

Solution: Novatrade provided a turnkey B2B fulfillment solution, allowing Hygiena to import, invoice, and distribute products immediately—while the subsidiary was being structured.

Outcome: Hygiena launched operations without delay, generated local revenue to support its investment, and seamlessly took over activities once the legal entity was established.

Challenge: Encased, a U.S.-based premium mobile accessories brand, sought to expand its e-commerce operations to Brazil. To sell locally and manage fulfillment, it needed a compliant local entity with the necessary tax and import licenses—without the delays of a traditional setup.

Solution: Novatrade structured a complete solution for Encased, providing a tax domicile integrated with warehousing and securing the RADAR import license. We also took charge of e-commerce fulfillment, managing inventory, order processing, and last-mile delivery.

Outcome: Encased launched its Brazilian operations with full legal compliance and a ready-to-use infrastructure—enabling direct sales to local consumers without bureaucratic delays, and maintaining full control over customer experience and pricing.

Challenge: Applexion, a global leader in membrane and purification technologies, needed to explore and grow the Brazilian market by maintaining close relationships with industrial clients—without opening a local subsidiary.

Solution: Novatrade hired and hosted a local Sales Engineer through its Employer of Record (EOR) structure. This allowed Applexion to have a legal and operational presence in Brazil, focused on market development and customer engagement, while Novatrade provided back-office and administrative support.

Outcome: Applexion gained on-the-ground commercial intelligence and direct customer access without the cost and complexity of setting up a company—empowering them to evaluate market potential while staying lean and compliant.

Challenge: Prodeval, a European leader in biogas upgrading solutions, needed to establish a compliant and operational subsidiary in Brazil to support local projects and long-term growth.

Solution: Novatrade managed part of the setup of Prodeval’s Brazilian subsidiary—including RADAR import license, tax domicile, and operational structure. We continue to support the team across customs, tax compliance, supply chain coordination, and ongoing strategic advisory.

Outcome: Prodeval gained a fully functional local entity and the ability to manage complex operations efficiently in Brazil—backed by a trusted local partner for end-to-end execution.

Frequently Asked Questions

On average, it takes 6 to 24 months, depending on your industry. By “operational,” we mean fully ready to import, invoice, and distribute—not just legally registered.
