Key details
Sebrae and its partners are spearheading critical initiatives to empower small business owners across Brazil by providing financial education, credit access, and guidance on navigating the ongoing tax reform. Two key events in October highlight this effort: the Conexão Cariacica event in Espírito Santo on October 6 and the Dia da Reforma Tributária in Pernambuco on October 16.
Conexão Cariacica, held at Shopping Moxuara, focuses on "Credit and Finances in Practice: Safer Decisions for Business Growth," offering entrepreneurs practical insights on financial management and credit alternatives. Central to the event is the 'Rodada de Crédito,' an opportunity for entrepreneurs to meet directly with various financial institutions. Supported by Sebrae's Conexão Financeira program, the event emphasizes enhancing micro and small businesses’ capacity to make informed financial decisions. Organized jointly by Senac-ES, Sebrae-ES, Femicro-ES, and local associations, the event also fosters networking among entrepreneurs and financial experts.
Meanwhile, Sebrae Pernambuco's Dia da Reforma Tributária mobilized small business owners across municipalities such as Recife, Caruaru, and Petrolina to address the impacts of Brazil’s tax reform starting October 16. Activities included lectures on pricing, invoicing, and sector-specific effects of the new tax rules. Priscila Lapa, manager of Public Policies at Sebrae/PE, stressed that while entrepreneurs may not need comprehensive knowledge of the reform, they require trustworthy guidance to adapt their businesses. Sebrae/PE supports this transition through continuous assistance, including a Tax Reform Simulator and specialized consulting services available via helpline.
Together, these initiatives illustrate Sebrae’s commitment to equipping small business owners with the education, resources, and financial connections necessary to navigate Brazil’s evolving economic landscape successfully.
