Services Offered

Trust Brazil provides practical, transparent, and risk-reduction services for foreign companies that want to do business in Brazil. Our services are designed to help international companies verify Brazilian partners, identify opportunities, enter the market safely, and operate with local support — without unnecessary complexity. 

1 - Check a Brazilian Company — Free Service

Trust Brazil provides a free verification tool that allows you to check official public information about any Brazilian company using its CNPJ, the Brazilian Company Tax Identification Number.

The CNPJ is a unique 14-digit registration number (e.g. 00.000.000/0001-00) assigned to all legal entities operating in Brazil and is required to verify whether a company is formally registered and active.

What you need: Ask the company you are negotiating with for its CNPJ (Brazilian Company Tax Identification Number). 

What information is included in the free CNPJ check?

When a valid CNPJ is submitted, the platform retrieves verified data directly from official Brazilian government sources, including:

• Corporate (Legal) Name
• Trade Name (if applicable)
• Headquarters Location
• Company Size (Micro, Small, Medium, etc.)
• Main Economic Activity (CNAE)
• Secondary Economic Activities
• Legal Nature of the Entity
• Full Registered Address (Street, City, State, ZIP Code)
• Email Address and Phone Number (when publicly available)
• Registration Status (Active, Inactive, Suspended)
• Status Update Date
• Registered Capital Stock (in BRL – Brazilian Reais)

All retrieved information is automatically translated into English, making it easy for international users to understand and evaluate Brazilian companies.

This free service is part of the Trust Brazil ecosystem, designed to promote safer, more transparent, and more informed business relationships with Brazilian companies.

2. Paid Business Verification (Advanced CNPJ Validation)

What this service is

This service provides in-depth verification of Brazilian companies through the independent validation of official government certificates. It is designed for foreign companies that want to confirm whether a Brazilian partner is legally active, fiscally compliant, and operationally reliable before moving forward with negotiations.

The basic CNPJ public information check remains free. This paid service adds an additional layer of security through document authentication and structured analysis.

What is verified:

• Federal Tax and National Debt Clearance Certificate

Confirms that the company has no outstanding federal taxes or registered debts with the Brazilian federal government.
This certificate is essential to verify that the company is fiscally compliant at the national level and eligible to engage in formal commercial contracts.

• FGTS Compliance Certificate (labor obligations)

Demonstrates that the company is up to date with mandatory labor-related contributions, including deposits to the FGTS fund, which protects Brazilian employees.
This certificate is a key indicator of lawful employment practices and reduces exposure to labor-related liabilities.

• State Tax Clearance Certificate (ICMS)

Verifies that the company has no outstanding state-level tax debts, particularly related to ICMS, which applies to the circulation of goods and certain services.
This is especially important for companies involved in manufacturing, distribution, logistics, or interstate trade.

• Municipal Tax Clearance Certificate (ISS)

Confirms that the company is compliant with municipal service taxes (ISS) and has no outstanding obligations with the local government.
This certificate is critical when dealing with service providers, consultants, or technology companies operating at the local level.

• Bankruptcy and Judicial Recovery Certificate

Certifies that the company is not currently under bankruptcy proceedings or court-supervised judicial recovery.
This verification helps assess financial stability and continuity risk, ensuring the company is legally able to operate and honor commercial commitments.

(Note: All documents are checked directly against official Brazilian government databases and consolidated into a clear technical report in English).
