For those who want to come to Brazil or want to close business with Brazilian company you need to pay attention to some peculiarities, as gifts, times and places.

Brazil besides being known by the country of football, are becoming a big business market. Unlike many countries, in Brazil it is not customary to exchange gifts in a business meeting. What can often happen is when the meeting or meeting is made in someone's home, the other day, as a thank you, send up flowers for the person who provided the house. However, in Brazil, the color purple flower pe not a good choice, that color is often used in funerals. Even not exchanging gifts, the Brazilian is keen to pay the bill the restaurant or bar, it's a way of thanking the person have come so far.

For many foreigners, the Brazilian is not the best known for being on time for your appointments. But the states of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, keep assiduous in their commitments. Since these two states are the main in business and where has the largest companies in the country. Brazilian prize commitment, especially when it comes to business.

Many Brazilian companies keep talking to other company only in office, but the vast majority takes guests for lunch or dinner in a restaurant or even dine in your own home. Brazilians really like to socialize, so it can be very common that after dinner the meeting ends in a bar. You may not speak much of business during dinner, Brazilians like to talk about everything and leave the visitor more comfortable.

Brazil has its own peculiarities, and strive enough to please visitors and also to learn about other cultures, so as to strengthen and build alliances. I believe that Brazilians are very easy to deal with, they always are willing to learn, I also believe it is very easy for foreigners to do business in Brazil, because there is no eccentric or difficult rules to understand.
