Contract Types
Do I need a local entity to hire permanent employees in Brazil?
Hide answer
Yes, you need a local Brazilian legal entity if you want to hire people as permanent employees under Brazil's labor laws. This brings full payroll, tax, and labor-cost obligations. If you don't want to set up an entity, you have two alternatives: engage people as independent contractors, or use an intermediary such as an Employer of Record (EOR) or staffing firm that employs them locally and contracts with you. Staff augmentation providers can handle this complexity for you.
