Company formation and compliance in Brazil.

Constitute a Sociedade Limitada (two or more quotaholders, no statutory minimum capital), an SLU (a single owner — it replaced the extinguished EIRELI and also has no minimum capital) or an S.A. by filing the contrato social with the Junta Comercial of the state of the seat; the CNPJ is generated through Redesim, then the inscrição municipal (ISS) and, for goods, the inscrição estadual (ICMS) follow. The administrador must be a natural person resident in Brazil; a foreign quotaholder needs a CPF (a foreign corporate quotaholder a CNPJ enrolment) and, if resident abroad, a resident procurador empowered to receive service of process, with foreign documents apostilled or consularised and sworn-translated into Portuguese. Outside Simples Nacional the company pays IRPJ at 15% plus a 10% surtax on profit above R$20,000 a month and CSLL at a general 9%; companies with gross revenue up to R$4.8m a year may elect the unified Simples Nacional DAS instead. Registration fees are set per state by each Junta Comercial, so there is no single national figure. Everything is transacted in Portuguese.

Primary authority
Junta Comercial (state) / Receita Federal — CNPJ
Typical turnaround
Junta Comercial registration itself runs about 3 business days; roughly 10–30 business days end to end for a foreign founder, driven by CPF, apostille and sworn translation rather than by the registry

Some registrations are administered below the national level, so the fee and the form differ by state. We publish a page only where we can actually deliver.
