I did just that -- moved to Brazil to start a company -- but for different reasons. Believe me, stupid copyright laws are the smallest obstacle for any new business. The absurd bureaucracy, the lack of credit and the escalating taxes, however...

Try Chile.



Bureaucracy and taxes are bad indeed, but on the good side you can make good money on consulting alone, and living cost is much lower than in US.

Can you tell us the name of your company?


Brazilian here, and I have to agree with you on that. It's so bad to start a company here that many start-ups are going to other countries trying to ease their way. Taxes and bureaucracy are insane here.
