Any organisation that holds a non-resident or foreign national as a partner within the company must take steps to ensure that this is compliant with Brazilian Law. 

 

Company partners based abroad cannot directly administer a business registered in Brazil. Therefore, organisations are required to adapt their articles of association to accommodate such appointments. 

 

Typically, arrangements will be made for the appointment of a specialised attorney who can assume responsibility for acting on behalf of the non-resident partner. 

 

This strategy may seem straightforward, but if not correctly executed, problems can arise. Companies may be disqualified from the Simples Nacional eligibility and there may be other repercussions. For these reasons, it is important to hire an experienced professional to provide guidance and support when making provisions for non-resident partners.
