  3. What we will NOT talk about today Brazil is complex… TAXES are endless… Bureaucracy will be a major time-spent… Operational costs are surprising… infrastructure is not what you would expect. Brazil is not a low-cost country… Brazil is not only fun. Ponteaz 2014 'Bar International do Brasil' - VOKA Mechelen
  4. Take-out Why should you go?(And why not) Where is “your Brazil”?The size of a continent. Prepare.Market analysis will be more than just about customers, dealers and prices. Ponteaz 2014 'Bar International do Brasil' - VOKA Mechelen
  5. 1. Why should you go? The internal market is driven by growing middle classes. Consumption of goods and services is booming. Europe = quality & culture (brands) The need for technological know-howis high (b-t-b). Technology (what) and processes (how). In industry (production), construction, pharma. Agriculture. Investment in infrastructure is gigantic. Energy (sourcing, transport, storage). Agro-infrastructure. Ports, roads, railroads, airports. Hospitals. Telecom. Consumption Production of goods & services Infrastructure enabling economic growth Ponteaz 2014 'Bar International do Brasil' - VOKA Mechelen
  6. 1. Why should you go? (and why not) Brazil is not a “banana republic”… Added-value is key. “The right price for the right value.” Brazil is not a low-cost country. Producing in Brazil for export rarely will be the right option. Brazil is not your ready-to-use medicine against crisis. No immediate return. Investment (cash-out) will be significant. Expansion to Brazil will demand investment with time-perspective of 3 to 5 years. Brazil will help you counter your next crisis. World cup and Olympics… Big events can be a strong trigger to enter the country, but see it as part of the investment. Ponteaz 2014 'Bar International do Brasil' - VOKA Mechelen

  14. Supply Chain Operations Mkt & Sales Post-sales R&D Me. What makes my company unique? 2 3 1 The value chain: which activities make me unique Crucial for defining your positioning in Brazil.

Positioning “Can I play my game” Ponteaz 2014 'Bar International do Brasil' - VOKA Mechelen
  16. Can I play “my game”: market analysis 2 3 2 2 2 1 Tip for market research: start at the client of your client and move backwards. YOU Your customer End-client Your customer End-client Your customer End-client Your customer End-client How relevant / important is your product for him? What does “better quality” mean to him. What is lacking (market gap). How could you help him? (delivery time, packaging, order quantity, …) How much does he pay? How much does your product way in his cost. Alternatives / competitors. Ponteaz 2014 'Bar International do Brasil' - VOKA Mechelen
  17. How. Me in Brazil. Me. Prepare: 3-steps approach 2 3 2 2 2 1 Feasibility. Logistics Fiscal Dealership set-up Can I play “my game” in Brazil. Readiness of my company. What makes me unique vs. competition. Ponteaz 2014 'Bar International do Brasil' - VOKA Mechelen
  18. Dealership model A: direct import Dealer x Dealer y Dealer z YOUR COMPANY In order to import, the dealer will need to obtain an import license (bureaucratic). The importing dealer will need to pre-finance all taxes at customs clearance: Import tax (between 0% and 35%). IPI (generally between 10% and 15%). PIS/COFINS (between 9% to 10%). ICMS (in SP 18%). (remark: taxes are from within and cumulative…) You sell at full cost, so taxes are on your cost price + margins + insur./freight. Remark: some of the above taxes are recuperated by the dealer. Important for NET-PRICE calculation!
  19. Dealership model B: master dealership(s) Dealer x Dealer y Dealer z YOUR COMPANY Potential royalty agreement The master dealer will be taking over the import bureaucracy and will assure market coverage. The issue of the taxes remains: the product is imported at full price. In the case of technology transfer or patented technology, a fiscal advantageous royalty agreement is to be evaluated.

  20. Dealership Model C: via your own subsidiary YOUR COMPANY Do Brasil Export to YOUR CY do Brasilat low prices. Dealer x Dealer x Dealer y Dealer y Dealer z Dealer z YOUR COMPANY Recuperation of profit: Via dividends. Via royalties. Your company will own the dealership network in Brazil. Your subsidiary in Brazil imports at low prices (minimizing the import cost). Profit is realized in Brazil and recuperated via dividends and royalties. This set-up is advantageous especially in the case of high margin products. The recurrent costs and set-up costs of the operation in Brazil in most cases are low and should be evaluated even in the case of lower business volumes.
  21. Summary Know yourself before you go. Define a regional approach. Include in your market analysis the “full picture”. The impact of the business scenario on your logistics, market potential and local prices (taxes) is enormous. Market analysis and business scenario’s should be in parallel. Get a detailed view on your tax scenario. If not your local partner will take advantage… Ponteaz 2014 'Bar International do Brasil' - VOKA Mechelen
