this reason many businessmen and companies are starting business in Brazil. However, Brazil is a sectional, diversified
country in all manners. The economy is in constant change, there are specific peculiarities of each region and state

cases, be the fundamental factor of a new enterprise's success.
It is important to be familiar with the country's profile, its culture
and fast growing economy, the way business is conducted, the population's view of the world and other details. Impossible
to become familiar with all aspects during a business meeting or a short period of time.
