Benefits of Hiring Remote Workers in Brazil
Choosing to hire in Brazil has its benefits, including its growing tech industry, cost savings, and ease of hiring with government support.
Tech Boom
Compared to other countries in Latin America, Brazil’s tech industry is developing at a rapid pace. In 2022, $12 billion was invested in Latin American tech, with startups in Mexico and Brazil receiving most of the funding.
Government Support
The Brazilian government considers themselves “pro-business” and encourages foreign investments. Companies can sponsor visas to hire whomever they want without facing too many obstacles.
Cost Savings
By eliminating the need for a local office, businesses can cut down operational and overhead costs.
Geographic Advantage
Brazil’s proximity to the rest of Latin America and North America makes it an ideal place to expand. Setting up a remote work hub in Brazil allows companies to access other Latin American markets with ease.
Employee Rights for Remote Workers
In the past few years, the Brazilian government has added teleworking laws to make remote work accessible for citizens and permanent residents.
