Can a foreigner be a partner in a company here in Brazil?

TF Assessor · July 07, 2026

Yes, a foreigner can be a partner in a company in Brazil. They can live here or abroad. The first step is to have a CPF (individual taxpayer ID). Every partner needs a CPF. If a partner lives abroad, they appoint an attorney-in-fact in Brazil. This attorney-in-fact is the person who represents them in the company's actions. In some cases, a legal representative is also required to receive official notices. TF Assessor sets up the company and takes care of the paperwork. The team guides the foreign partner at every step.
