Business Security Information for Countries in South America

Overview:

South America is a continent of extremes. It's a continent of wealth and extreme poverty. It's a continent of blossoming economies and major international debt. It's a continent of business opportunities and organised crime and corruption.

Brazil is one of the flourishing economies, yet suffers from a major problem with brand piracy and abuse of intellectual property rights. Likewise Colombia has a growing and diverse economy, but is plagued by the trafficking of drugs by organised crime groups.

Whilst there are certainly business opportunities for UK companies, businesses and individuals need to be careful how they approach operating there and about staff security once established.

Information about each country can be obtained by clicking the country link opposite.
