The Challenge
Operating before the entity existed
Our client needed to start operations in Brazil immediately, before creating a local entity. Senior leadership had to be hired, payroll managed accurately, and labor compliance guaranteed without building an internal HR team.
The Solution
Phased EOR-to-entity approach
Wide Brazil supported a phased approach:
- Immediate hiring of the General Manager through EOR
- Full payroll and HR operations after entity formation
- Continuous labor law advisory and leadership support
The Results
Leadership focus restored
40% reduction in administrative workload for leadership
100% compliance
Improved transparency and employee experience
Strong foundation for long-term growth
The client operated in Brazil from day one with legal certainty and minimal internal distraction.
