Why Brazilstrat
Our international team has both inside knowledge of Brazilian business dynamics and the ability to see local challenges and particularities from a foreigner’s point of view. We focus on digital, asset light business models where a market entry/test can be carried out without large capital investments and without imported goods or employees on the ground. Our services include:
Our approach is stepwise, lean, and low-risk
Our aim is to make the Brazil entry process as lean and risk free as possible for our customers. We recommend beginning with a feasibility study where the goal is to confirm product/market fit in the Brazilian market, while at the same time recruiting early adaptors as initial customers/users. Assuming positive results from the feasibility study, we suggest continuing with an extended test, or “beta launch”, where we carry out operational and commercial activities that are possible without further commitment (i.e. establishment of a legal entity etc.).
Such activities can include translation and adaptation of digital interfaces, Brazilian social media management and influencer marketing campaigns, initial outreach to local customers, partners and employees, and further market research. The “beta launch” stage can be scaled up or down depending on results on a continuous basis.
The advantage of this approach is that investments associated with a proper launch, including the establishment of a legal entity, hiring of full-time employees etc., takes place only after high conviction has been reached through extensive, low-cost/low-commitment testing.
