Our premise is that it should be easy for a business to expand in Brazil, this is not the way it works today. Moving into new markets doesn’t come without its challenges; the route to global expansion is littered with barriers and complications. From legal risks to significant hidden costs and complexities, which differ vastly from market to market, navigating an expansion into a new country is rarely straightforward. Language barriers, cultural differences, immigration policies, distance to headquarters and legal jurisdictions can all cause headaches when looking to establish or grow operations in other countries. Our belief is that it's easier today to start a company than it is to grow one, for most companies the biggest risk has shifted from product to get it to market, this is especially challenging when expanding internationally. Our focus at Ocidente is to be the catalyst for companies to enter, expand and develop the markets in Brazil and Latin America. Our goal is to help companies to start operations by identifying scalable and profitable sources of revenue generation through strategic partnerships, acquisitions, and organic.
