My business partner lives outside Brazil. Can he still join the company?

Yes, he can. A foreigner can be a partner in a Brazilian company, living here or abroad. The main rule is to have a CPF and a legal representative in Brazil, appointed by power of attorney. This representative receives official notices and handles the formal side. TF Con takes care of the overseas partner's paperwork and drafts the articles of association the right way. We just keep an eye on the type of activity, because some sectors have their own rules for foreign capital. We check this before registering.
