Regulatory Affairs Product Registration: FDA/ANVISA

In these more than 30 years we have been working with ANVISA and FDA, assisting our clients. We solve difficult regulatory cases in the regulatory area in Brazil and the USA. The registration and listing of products with Anvisa are regulated by specific resolutions in accordance with the nature of each one. The registration or listing must be done through an electronic petition to Anvisa, comprised of documents and information indicated in the Anvisa's RDC No 185/01 and other relevant laws, and is thus a "documentary process".

Merger/Acquisition/Investment

Interested in Brazil? Remember that any merger, acquisition, joint venture, or capital investment operation involves complex matters, requiring dedication of experienced professionals. This is particularly relevant when such negotiations involve companies with global operations. When selling alone is the best solution, most entrepreneurs might find a Merger and Acquisition (M&A) to be the perfect solution. We assist international companies with post-transaction services; company restructuring and liquidation. Trust this to us!

Strategic Alliance Program

Strategic Alliances (Equity Strategic Alliance, and Non-equity Strategic Alliance) allow the combination of companies' respective resources, capabilities, and core competencies to design, manufacture or distribute certain goods or services. Why to establish a strategic alliance and not a joint venture? Strategic Alliance is less involved and less binding than a joint venture, since the two companies pool resources to create a separate business entity. Thus, each company maintains its autonomy while gaining a new opportunity. Candex defines basic alliance models as: (1) Cross-marketing agreements; (2) Technology transfer; (3) Licensing of intellectual property; (4) Joint R&D projects; (5) Consortium, among others.

Product Introduction Services

In establishing marketing strategies, we focus on four P's: promotional strategies, pricing strategies, product strategies, and placement (or distribution) strategies. You have to work with your clients to learn their needs and what the competitors are offering. Not understanding this may cost you market loss. We work with you in your target market to properly position your product/service (market acceptance factors). We introduce your products and/or technologies to the right buyers, in Brazil and other countries in South America. What is good for you if you have the best products, but no good leads to sell to? We are here to assist you!
