How to Use the Trust Brazil Platform
International companies typically use the Trust Brazil ecosystem in two different ways, depending on their stage of market engagement.
1. If You Already Have a Brazilian Company (Verification)
If you are already in contact or negotiating with a Brazilian company, you can use the platform to perform an initial verification.
Step 1 — Request the Company’s CNPJ
Ask the company for its CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica), which is the official registration number of Brazilian businesses.
Providing a CNPJ is standard practice in Brazil for formal business interactions.
Step 2 — Search the Company
Enter the CNPJ in the platform to retrieve official corporate data.
Step 3 — Review the Information
Analyze registration status, business activity, location, and other key data.
Step 4 — Evaluate and Decide
Use the information to support your decision or proceed with deeper verification if necessary.
2. If You Do Not Yet Have a Brazilian Partner (Market Entry)
If you are exploring the Brazilian market and do not yet have established contacts, Trust Brazil provides structured support to help you move forward.
In this case, the process typically involves:
Step 1 — Define Your Objective in the Brazilian Market
Before entering the Brazilian market, companies should clearly define their primary objective. Different objectives require different strategies, levels of investment, and types of local support.
Common objectives include:
Finding distributors, importers, or commercial partners to access the Brazilian market
Identifying clients or business opportunities in specific sectors
Participating in trade fairs and business events to explore the market and establish initial contacts
Accessing public tenders or PPP opportunities in infrastructure, services, or government-related projects
Sourcing Brazilian suppliers as part of global supply chain strategies
Testing market potential before committing resources through research and local insights
Establishing a structured presence in Brazil, with local representation or operational support
Adapting products or services to Brazilian regulatory, technical, or commercial requirements
Clearly defining your objective is essential to determine the most efficient entry strategy and the type of support required.
Step 2 — Identify Opportunities
Based on your objective, the next step is to understand where and how to operate in the Brazilian market.
This may involve market research, sector analysis, and identification of potential entry points.
Step 3 — Connect with Potential Partners
Once opportunities are identified, companies can establish initial contact with Brazilian partners, clients, or institutions aligned with their objectives.
Step 4 — Verify and Structure Relationships
After identifying potential partners, companies should verify corporate information using the CNPJ and, when necessary, conduct deeper due diligence.
Step 5 — Execute and Expand
With validated partners and a defined strategy, companies can move forward with commercial operations, representation, or structured market entry.
From Data Access to Market Execution
Trust Brazil combines three integrated components to support international companies operating in Brazil:
Digital Verification Platform (CNPJ-based): Enables access to official corporate data provided by Brazilian authorities, supporting initial verification and transparency
Local Operational Hub in Brazil: Connects international companies with Brazilian partners, institutions, and market opportunities
Business Support Services: Provides structured assistance for partner identification, verification, and market entry execution
Together, these components allow companies to move from market exploration → partner identification → verification → business execution in a structured and risk-mitigated way.
Important Considerations
The platform provides access to official public data for initial verification purposes
Not all companies will start with an identified partner or a known CNPJ
In many cases, market understanding and partner identification are the first steps
Additional verification and local support are recommended before entering formal agreements
