Why establish a business in Brazil?
As the largest economy in South America, Brazil is a key player in the agricultural and industrial sector. An abundance of oil, iron ore and other natural resources makes it a reliable location for export.
Its most populous city, São Paulo, is often referred to as the “financial capital of Brazil” and hosts prominent banks and financial institutions as well as the headquarters of many multinational corporations.
