    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions about internationalisation

    It depends on the activity and the structure (mainland or free zone). The quote always separates our fees from the out-of-pocket costs of licences and registrations.

    From 4 to 12 weeks for the structure, depending on the type; sales channels start in parallel.

    In many cases no longer. We check it for your sector with our partners on the ground.

    We point you to tax professionals in the country and coordinate the work; we do not give tax advice ourselves.

    Local network, industry fairs, targeted search and reference checks. Then we negotiate together.

    Because we have working contacts there and because they are gateways to Mercosur with simpler rules than other countries in the region.
