How prepared is your company to operate internationally?
You know your company has potential, but you also know it is limited by:
- High taxes
- Excessive bureaucracy
- Unqualified labor
- Legal uncertainty
- Economic instability
The old ghosts that haunt entrepreneurs who remain tied to Brazil's borders.
What if we told you there might be markets where your business could perform better? But before making any choice, there is a question that needs to be answered:
What is the value of your business today, and how does that value change when you alter the country, currency, and tax burden?
This is exactly where International Expansion Consulting begins.
A 360º view to ensure your business internationalization is secure and precise.

How this consultancy will guide your international expansion
1. The first stage is handled by David (Deduc)
He analyzes the company's financial health, calculates its current value, and projects how that value changes in different markets. This is when you discover whether you should expand and under what conditions the operation remains sustainable. This analysis includes:
- International feasibility
- Revenue, cost, and investment projections
- ROI and payback scenarios
- Asset and succession impacts for the family
- Manufacturing outsourcing feasibility
- and, when necessary, financial design of holdings for tax optimization
With this diagnosis in hand, Settee takes on the second stage.
2. Francisco and Juan design the international architecture that will shape the plan (Settee)
With the financial roadmap in hand, this is where legal, tax, and operational choices take shape and align with your expansion goals.
- Support for immigration processes, visa applications, and citizenship
- Business entity type
- Tax Planning
- Regulatory Compliance
- International Accounts
- and all the asset protection that supports the operation
By integrating these two layers—financial and structural—your international expansion proceeds with reduced risk, preserving value and increasing the company's competitiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The consulting brings together two complementary fronts:
Deduc: financial diagnostics, valuation, scenario projections, international viability, ROI, payback, and strategic roadmap.
Settee: corporate and tax structure, tax planning, country and entity type selection, account opening, asset protection, and regulatory compliance.
In the end, you receive a complete financial and legal plan showing whether the expansion makes sense, where to go, and how to execute it.
For companies and business families looking to expand their operations to other countries, whether for market opportunities, tax benefits, asset protection, or strategic diversification.
Yes. For the project to be viable, we recommend:
- Minimum of R$ 10 million/year for product companies.
- Minimum of R$ 5 million/year for service companies.
It depends on the size and complexity of the company.
- Service businesses typically receive the Deduc analysis in 1 to 2 weeks.
- Industries, agribusiness, and more complex operations require an initial assessment first to define the timeline.
We currently serve companies interested in expanding to:
- Latin America
- United States
- Luxembourg
The cost depends on the size of the company, operational complexity, the target country, and the number of corporate entities involved.
For this reason, we conduct an initial assessment during a $125 USD introductory call with David Ascher to provide an accurate quote.
Not for this service.
The differentiator of this consultancy is precisely the integration between financial analysis and legal structure, ensuring decisions are truly secure and well-planned.
Deduc is the one that answers the essential question of expansion:
How much is your company worth today and how much could it be worth when entering another market?
Based on this, it delivers reliable models, realistic projections, and a roadmap that avoids poor decisions and reduces financial and asset risks.
Settee transforms the financial diagnostic into a legal and tax structure, defining the country, entity, tax planning, international accounts, compliance, and asset protection.
You receive:
- A complete financial model
- An expansion roadmap
- The defined corporate and tax structure
- And, if you proceed with the execution, Settee oversees the entire process until the structure is operational.
Yes, but always within the bounds of the law.
The goal is to design an international structure that reduces the tax burden in a sustainable, secure, and compliant manner, aligned with international treaties.
Yes.
Deduc evaluates the succession and financial impacts of the move, and Settee sets up the protection, succession, and asset shielding structure appropriate for the chosen country.
Yes. Deduc prepares financial models, projections, and materials that can be used in negotiations with investors, banks, and strategic partners.
It is better to find out sooner rather than later. You save time and money while avoiding structures that would not yield a return, maintaining clarity on when—and if—it is worth expanding.
