What we do
We are a team with extensive experience and a track record in business consulting, particularly in the identification, promotion, and materialization of opportunities among Statute’s home countries, as well as between these countries and other regions seeking to establish relationships with them.
CORPORATE AND BUSINESS DIPLOMACY
We pave the way
Building an appropriate framework for the realization of a given operation, regardless of its nature, is a fundamental task for success. Achieving legitimacy for an ambition requires a deep understanding of local culture, rules, and practices, as well as the creation of communication and connection platforms that structure the right framework for the effective realization of investments.
We prepare the institutional and business environment to maximize the success of our clients and partners.
We promote the strengthening of institutional relations between investing companies and public and governmental entities of the countries, aiming to facilitate constructive structuring investments discussions.
Strategic cooperation between countries with complementary needs and capabilities generates business opportunities on a broad scale. With this platform in place, countries achieve their strategic objectives, and companies find a more conducive environment for developing their businesses, thus building value for the entire ecosystem.
Statute promotes the realization of these bilateral protocols and actively participates in their implementation and activation. The ability to mobilize, guide, and support implementing agents is one of Statute’s key competencies.
In special cases, Statute is requested to assume the international institutional representation of regions and/or even countries.
We understand that value creation is greater and more consistent when competencies are added in pursuit of similar and/or complementary objectives. It is our mission to provide our clients with the appropriate partnerships to enable their businesses to become viable, scale, be more comprehensive in their value proposition, and more global.
In addition to providing access to our Statute Universe, a vast platform of partners who share capabilities and interests, and who share our vision, we select strategic partners with the most suitable profile for the desired objectives.
Conflicts and deadlocks delay or prevent the implementation of investments and result in financial losses. Even more damaging are reputational damages, which are harder to mitigate/resolve in a geography other than one’s own.
The effective resolution of conflicts and/or deadlock situations among actors/companies/institutions from different countries often requires skills that go beyond the legal framework. The ability to engage in multicultural dialogue, build consensus, as well as knowledge of the channels and paths to follow, are crucial factors that we employ for the benefit of all parties involved.
Do you have conflicts and/or friction situations in our home countries, or with companies from these countries? If so, request our intervention. Our understanding of local culture, respective rules and practices, and, above all, our credibility, are advantages that we leverage to seek win-win solutions for such situations.
Whether initiated by us or by invitation, we support the structuring and organization of international events between our home countries, as well as in other regions that wish to host members of the Statute’s Universe.
Investment Promotion
Boosting investment
Promoting and sharing opportunities with potential investors from other regions is often less structured, carried out without knowledge of the business reality of these countries and their respective requirements/procedures and constraints, and always with a culturally inadequate approach in the broadest sense of the word.
Aware that companies are increasingly global and that the economies of countries are becoming more interconnected, we have invested much of our attention and competitive advantages in promoting cross-border investments between our home regions, as well as in attracting investment from other countries to these regions, across all our sectors of activity (infrastructure, renewable energies, real estate, industry, etc.).
- Promotion of investment opportunities received from developers/promoters who aim to sell or find partners
- Search for investments/opportunities for investors with investment plans in specific sector(s)
- Search for potential investors for privatization and/or concession processes of infrastructure
- Structuring financing solutions for public sector projects
- Supporting countries in revitalizing sectors of activity by selecting and attracting players with the appropriate profile
- Our understanding of the needs and capabilities of the parties allows us to promote operations and/or partnerships between compatible stakeholders
- We know what can be attractive to investors from our target countries
- We have an extensive network that covers all sectors of activity
- We are familiar with and operate according to the specificities of local cultures
Procurement Global e Trading
We streamline and energize transactions
The vast and diverse flow of products and equipment between our home countries, as well as from these to other regions, using Statute’s channels, results from a set of fundamental factors:
- Effectiveness of our approach model
- Solid relationships with some of the largest global producers and suppliers
- Communication without cultural barriers
- In-depth knowledge of business processes
- Ability to build win-win conditions
- Vision regarding the most suitable commercial strategies
Our extensive network of suppliers in China and Brazil, the largest global producers in many sectors, as well as in Portugal, enables us to find the most innovative and competitive solutions for products and equipment, contributing to optimizing the production and operational costs of companies across various sectors that utilize our services, as well as addressing shortages of essential goods.
- We promote the offer to trading companies in the respective sector on the seller’s side
- We find products/suppliers for trading companies
- We channel requests received to partner trading companies
- We establish trust relationships between the seller and buyer sides, a fundamental aspect for the realization of operations of this nature.
The need/desire to expand sales to other regions is a slow and complex process. Many factors must be considered and evaluated for a conscious and consistent decision-making process. However, there are dimensions that are not part of the analysis matrix supporting the decision-making process but are crucial
for the success of an expansion operation into new geographies. By addressing this area, we become a factor of success.
- We support the development of expansion plans with relevant local information
- We select partners and/or local representatives with the most suitable profile (sector, structure, market positioning, credibility and image, values and practices, etc.) for the product/equipment in question
- Constru
- We promote products to potential local buyers/resellers
We also support local companies, from any geography, in searching for suppliers of specific products and equipment (produced in one of Statute’s home regions) that they may want to include in their portfolio.
DOING BUSINESS OVERSEAS
We transcend national borders
An option that is always, and rightly so, considered in an investment process in other regions is to establish a partnership with a local agent/company in the sector, through which the investor gains a faster entry and assertion in the market, mitigates risks, reduces the investment value, and gains access to the partner’s experience, knowledge of the local market, and credibility. In this way, the potential for the success of the operation is maximized, and the return on investment is anticipated.
In addition to our universe of clients and partners, where we typically find the most reliable and quickly implementable solutions, we have the skills and methodology that allow us to find the best solution for each situation.
Because our interest extends beyond the selection of the local business partner, but rather to ensure the success of partnerships and, consequently, the achievement of operation objectives, we remain present for sufficient time to allow investments to be implemented and partnerships to be consolidated. To this end, we not only ensure strategic business viability partnerships but also provide solutions for practical needs to be met by service providers.
Although our focus (and even less our skills and strengths) is not on bureaucratic aspects, we believe we should support our clients comprehensively, so we also provide these services (using our specialized partners in each of the regions).
Many times, companies opt for less exhaustive entries in terms of investment in new regions, seeking to place their products and/or brands in a given country without the need to establish a physical presence there. There are also many situations where local companies aim to enrich and expand their portfolio with
products/brands from other regions.
In these situations, we select and negotiate with the most suitable local partners. Typically, in both cases, these are processes that require an extensive set of validations for which we rely on our knowledge and local partners. If there are no insurmountable legal constraints, and the party expressing the need demonstrates genuine commitment and capability for the operation, our success rate in meeting these objectives is remarkable.
MERGE & ACQUISITIONS
Scaling Businesses
The dynamics of mergers and acquisitions is a growing trend, which has resulted in increasingly larger and more global companies/groups, further elevating the phenomenon of globalization to a new level.
We always have a significant flow of assets coming from our home countries for promotion, as well as specific orders from various regions. After analyzing the assets and characterizing the orders, we proceed with our approach in the respective markets, always starting with the clients and partners of the Statute Universe.
In addition to “Making it Happen” we provide full support in negotiations, always keeping our win-win principle in mind.
