Chinese Enterprises Expanding into Brazil: Office Solutions Available Within 24 Hours

For Chinese enterprises looking to establish a presence in Brazil, take Rio de Janeiro as an example: Centro, the downtown area, is the top choice for office locations, with an average rental rate of R$83.6 per square meter per month, while Barra de Tijuca stands at R$62.11 per square meter per month.

Based on local fit-out and procurement costs (ranging from R$3,300 to R$4,280 per square meter) and the standard of 7 square meters of space per employee, the comprehensive cost per workstation in a traditional office building in Centro exceeds R$1,417 per month. Moreover, the fit-out process typically requires 3 to 6 months of preparation time. An additional cost is incurred for demolishing the fit-out and restoring the premises to their original condition upon lease termination.

Success Case: Kunity’s Integrated Office Solutions

Kunity’s integrated office solutions directly address the pain points of overseas market entry, eliminating the need for enterprises to handle fit-out and procurement preparations separately. Fully furnished and equipped, the offices are ready for immediate move-in.

The corporate decision-making process is significantly streamlined, with the entire setup finalized in as little as 24 hours. Furthermore, the lease terms offer maximum flexibility for both move-in and termination, freeing enterprises from the constraints of long-term contracts. The cost per workstation is kept below R$1,200 per month, enabling enterprises to launch operations with minimal upfront investment and rapidly gain a foothold in the Brazilian market.
