Registering an LTDA or SLU in Brazil is necessary for businesses that will sell domestically, hire employees, purchase goods, or receive payments in BRL. Before filing, the company must determine its shareholders, director or administrator, address, and business activities. After registration, the company receives local tax information and can open a bank account; for use abroad, certified copies and legalization of documents are required.
Information for decision-making
To decide whether this jurisdiction is suitable for your business, compare the company form, owner documents, taxes, annual costs and payment options. We can check these points before registration and prepare a practical solution for the company, corporate account and ongoing support.
Company registration process
We first confirm the company form, owners, management, activity and documents. We then prepare and file the incorporation set, coordinate the registered office and tax steps and, after registration, move to accounting and account opening according to the agreed project sequence.
Directors and management
We agree the ownership structure before filing and record each owner’s interest, contribution and corporate rights. Where a corporate shareholder is used, its registry documents and full ownership chain are prepared for the register and KYC process.

CNPJ
For company registration in Brazil, we agree the legal form, owners, management, capital and activities, prepare the incorporation documents and coordinate the filing. The following tax, accounting and account-opening steps are then completed in the agreed order.
Foreign owner and local representative
We prepare one consistent document set for registration, the bank and ongoing administration. It includes the required owner and director identification, proof of address, corporate information and any notarisation, apostille or translation needed for the project.
IRPJ, CSLL and profit-calculation regimes
The tax position in Brazil depends on the company form, source of income, actual activity and any available regime. We confirm the current rates and filing requirements before registration.

Residence permit for the owner / investor
This structure can be used for international business where the company form, contracts, payment geography and management model match the planned activity. We compare practical use, annual cost and account options before registration.
If the owner also needs a residence permit, we coordinate the company and immigration parts of the project. We check the investment, ownership interest, position, business plan, source of funds and local filing conditions before work starts.
Documents and corporate records
The registration package is prepared as one consistent set for the local register and later KYC. It normally includes owner and director identification, proof of address, constitutional documents, ownership information and any required notarisation, apostille or translation.
Accounting and reporting
After registration, the company in Brazil keeps the accounting records and completes the corporate and tax filings required for its activity. We agree the accounting documents, reporting calendar and any audit requirement before operations start.

Practical solution
Corporate decisions are documented through meetings or written resolutions in accordance with local law and the company’s constitutional documents. We prepare the initial resolutions and maintain a practical corporate calendar for later decisions.
New company or ready-made offshore company
If speed is important, we can compare registering a new company with buying a ready-made company and show the cost and timing of each option before work starts.
