+55 Global Entry and Expansion
Global expansion is not a marketing decision. It is an architecture decision.
+55 governs. You execute. No one improvises.
The +55 Global Entry & Expansion Office is not internationalization consulting. It is the Office that structures, coordinates and governs your business’s entry into any market in the world: with method, with controlled risk and with the clarity that expansion without governance is not growth. It is exposure.
Phase 0 mandatory. Before any contract.

Global Strategic Filter
Global expansion carries too high a cost of error to begin without a filter. Before any engagement, +55 runs a Global Eligibility Pre-Due Diligence: an independent technical assessment that determines whether the project should advance, in what format and with what protections.
Business model and transferability to the target jurisdiction.
Regulation by sector and country: licensing, foreign-capital restrictions and local content.
AML/KYC/CFT risk under FATF, OFAC and applicable sanctions lists.
Bilateral reputational sensitivity between your brand and the market of entry.
Target-country risk: political, confiscatory, currency and repatriation restriction.
Legal history of the controlling group in prior jurisdictions.
Filter outcome: documented technical refusal
Where there is high reputational risk, non-mitigable regulatory risk, an opaque corporate structure, hidden liabilities or a link to sanctioned entities: a formal technical refusal, without negotiation. +55 does not enter as a shield for risky operations. In no market in the world.
Product structure · Setup
Four architectures. One governed entry.
One-time payment, 75 to 120 days. Deliverable: the Global Entry Architecture and the Multi-Market Execution Plan.
Global Strategic Diagnosis
Where to enter, why enter now and what happens if the hypothesis is wrong. Viability by regional cluster, regulatory map, tax modeling (BEPS Pillar 2), currency risk and local competitive intelligence.
Legal & Regulatory Structuring
Coordination and governance, not direct execution. +55 does not sign or register: it designs the holding, the corporate structure and the contracts, and coordinates the local partners who perform each formal act.
Financial & Currency Architecture
How capital enters, circulates, returns and is reported. Transfer pricing, multi-currency treasury, hedging, repatriation planning and currency stress testing.
Commercial Entry Architecture
The ICP that works in Brazil may not exist in Germany. Local ICP validation, cultural positioning, go-to-market, local CAC and integration with the headquarters Revenue Engine.
Retainer Phase
Continuous Governance
Minimum of 2 quarters. A monthly ritual that keeps every active market under control, not under luck.
- 01
Regulatory review per active jurisdiction: new requirements, framework changes and pending actions.
- 02
Update of the multi-market risk matrix and adjustment of the mitigation plan.
- 03
Actual vs. projected CAC and unit economics per market, broken down by channel.
- 04
Currency and treasury monitoring, with impact on the consolidated P&L.
- 05
Strategy recalibration: go-to-market, pricing, channel and ICP based on real data.
- 06
Consolidated global dashboard: every international operation on a single governance table.
Global Ethical Conditions
Mandatory. Non-negotiable.
The objectivity of the diagnosis is worth more than the contract. Four conditions interrupt or redirect the project, without euphemism.
Regulatory or structural deviation
Operating before the license, bypassing FDI restrictions, transfer pricing outside arm’s length or violating sanctions: immediate interruption, formal record and termination at no cost.
Technical unviability
If CAC makes the model unviable or there is no product-market fit, +55 recommends a structured pause. It does not force expansion to preserve a contract.
High geopolitical or legal risk
Extreme political, confiscatory or inconvertibility risk: mitigation when manageable, a documented non-entry recommendation when not, an exit plan when the context changes.
Material change of context
A regime change, new legislation or deterioration of local partners: emergency governance review and contingency activated within 30 days.
Difference
The big firms charge ten times more and deliver a report. The small ones do not have the method.
Consultancies run a study, deliver a PDF and vanish. Investment banks step in once the deal is already structured. Law firms execute the legal structuring, but do not govern the thesis. +55 structures the thesis, coordinates the multi-jurisdictional execution, governs with continuity and integrates everything into the company’s Revenue Engine. It has the method, and installs it inside your business.
+55 does not expand companies. It structures companies that deserve to expand.
It is for you if:
- Your operation is already structured and predictable in its home market.
- You have reliable numbers for margin, cash and forecast.
- Expansion is a wealth decision, not an escape from a local problem.
It is not for you if:
- The operation still grows on improvisation and depends on the founder at the center.
- Margin and cash are not yet under control.
- You want to open a market before putting your house in order. In that case, start with the Scorecard.
Apply your operation
Entry and Expansion is diagnosed, not sold. Describe your operation. +55 assesses readiness before any conversation.
