How we operate together

Four ways to collaborate. Six ways to represent your brand.

Choose what fits your timeline, capital, and desired control.

Collaboration Models

Compare based on what matters to you.

Compare what matters: capital, control, time to first sales. Choose the best option — start the conversation in two clicks.

Consulting + Managed Services

Choose this when: You need a diagnosis and a team to execute it — without long-term capital commitment.

Your capital
Fee-based — lowest commitment
Your brand control
Full — you decide everything
Time to market
3–6 months for an operational action plan
Build-Operate-Transfer

Choose this when: You want your own subsidiary in 18–36 months, without spending two years building it from scratch.

Your capital
Service fee + buyout upon transfer
Your brand control
Full — the operation transfers to you from day one
Time to market
6–9 months to establish, 18–36 months to transfer
Joint Venture / NewCo

Choose this when: You maintain brand and global strategy. We manage the local P&L. Shared control and profits.

Your capital
Co-financed — you provide part of the capital
Your brand control
High — brand, IP, and strategy remain with you
Time to market
9–12 months for live operations
Operating-Investor

Choose this when: When the fit is right, we co-invest and operate the business with you. (Investment is selective.)

Your capital
Shared — we co-invest where the fit is right
Your brand control
Shared via board / brand guidelines
Time to market
9–15 months to first large-scale sale

Note: co-investment is selective. Lighter collaborations (Consulting, BOT) allow you to retain higher profit potential — in exchange for more work on your part.

Representation Modes

Six ways we position your brand to the LatAm consumer.

These combine with any collaboration model. Most operations use two or three (e.g., Master Franchise + Retail Development + Local Manufacturing).

Exclusive Distribution

We assume exclusive distribution rights in one or more LatAm countries. Your inventory, our registrations, our channel relationships.

Master Franchise

We hold the master license and sub-franchise or operate company-owned units in the region.

Brand Licensing and Local Manufacturing

Licensed production and marketing, according to local costs and regulations — without losing brand standards.

Sales Representation and KAM

Official representative without assuming inventory. Key account management, channel development, and commercial execution.

Retail Development

Stores, shop-in-shops, DTC e-commerce, and marketplace activation — designed, opened, and operated by our retail team.

NewCo / Subsidiary-as-a-Service

We establish and operate your local subsidiary from start to finish — until you decide whether to keep it, transfer it, or sell it.
