Simplify Your CNPJ Registration with CLM Controller

Looking to start a business in Brazil? The first essential step is obtaining a CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica), the equivalent of a business’s ID in the Brazilian tax system. CLM Controller is here to simplify this process for you, making it more straightforward and manageable.

What is CNPJ?

The CNPJ serves as a company’s registration with the Federal Revenue of Brazil, functioning similarly to an individual’s CPF. It is crucial for various business operations such as opening corporate bank accounts, issuing invoices, and hiring employees.

Choosing Your Company Type with CLM’s Expertise

At CLM, our team of experts will guide you through every step of the process. First, you’ll need to decide on the type of business you want to establish, which could range from a Microentrepreneur Individual (MEI) to a Small Business (ME) or a Small Business Enterprise (EPP). Each category has specific tax and employment implications.

Documentation and Registration

Our team will assist you in gathering all the necessary documentation, including personal identification (RG and CPF) and proof of business address. Additional documents may be required depending on your business activities.

DBE – Basic Entry Document

The next critical step is completing the DBE (Documento Básico de Entrada). With CLM’s support, you can ensure all details are accurate to avoid delays. This document must be digitally signed, a process we can facilitate with a digital certificate.

Once the DBE is filled, CLM submits your CNPJ registration to the Federal Revenue. Our familiarity with the system allows us to handle this efficiently and accurately. Remember, there are no fees charged by the Federal Revenue for CNPJ registration, so be wary of any such claims.

Response Time and Additional Legal Obligations

Typically, the Federal Revenue responds within 48 hours. If any issues arise or corrections are needed, our team is ready to address them promptly. Once approved, your business’s CNPJ will be ready, and you can start your operations.

Ongoing Support

Our commitment doesn’t end with obtaining your CNPJ. CLM is equipped to assist with ongoing legal obligations such as tax payments, submissions of required declarations, and securing necessary licenses and permissions.
