Localization in LATAM

Portuguese (BR) and Spanish (regional variants) are operating languages; direct translations from US English are refused when they miss local cultural context.

Localization guidance
Where FGV stops
No legal, tax or regulated advice

Entity formation, tax structuring, employment law and regulated licensing are coordinated with qualified partners — never delivered by FGV directly.

No employer-of-record service

FGV does not employ candidates on your behalf, sponsor visas or provide employment authorization. Where an EOR is appropriate, a qualified partner is introduced.

Regional, not universal

LATAM is not a single market. FGV publishes capability where it operates directly and coordinates the rest through named partners.

Market-entry diagnostic

Where does the next stage actually start?

Answer eight questions. The output is a staged recommendation across the four pillars — not a proposal. Legal, tax and entity work stay with qualified partners.

Risk & disclosures

Region-aware, not universally certified.

All regional risk disclosures
  • Country-specific labour, marketing and consumer-protection rules apply and are respected in-program.
  • Data protection regimes (e.g. LGPD in Brazil) are respected; FGV does not certify country-level compliance.
  • Selling motions in enterprise LATAM buyers are relationship-based and time-based; unrealistic timelines are refused.

Flow Group Ventures does not provide legal, tax, immigration or regulatory advice. Where an engagement requires those disciplines, qualified partners are coordinated inside the program and clearly identified.
