Businesses In Brazil = How about Corruption

11 years ago

I may well be retiring to Brazil in a few years, so wondering about business prospects there; in fact, I've checked out businsses like beach pousadas and they look fine; however, I worry about the corruption, gang activities and government officials given that many states and localities have questionable laws, regs. and criminal activities - so do businessmen need to pay off local officials or local gangs? Do those experiencing business dealings have any unexpected surprises dealing with real estate and business start ups? With it's growth, Brazil can be good for business, but the crime and government intervention seems complicated and risky. Any stories to give confidence or pause???
