Hi guys,

We are in the process of moving to Curitiba from JHB. For the visa, we need to invest in a business. Anyone got any leads, tips suggestions? Thanks

I'm from Durbs - Missing the hot stuff!
 
Why the decision to move to Curitiba? As you need an investment visa, I assume you're both saffa's? Just curious ...
 
There's a ton of stuff that you could import and sale over here, either online or in a store.
 
An idea that I was toying with recently was buying a van and delivering organic fruit and vegies on a weekly basis. The idea is to get people to sign up to the service and for x amount they got a different box. Sort of like this company in the uk - http://www.abelandcole.co.uk/ - http://www.abelandcole.co.uk/

We are Saffas by choice, Irish by birth. We will have been living in SA for 30 yrs by the time we leave.

Why Curitiba... we have investment property there and the plan was always to live part of time in SA & part in Brazil. However, due to personal circumstances and the trends here vs Brazil, we have decided to move there full-time.

I have lots of experience in business, big and small and would prefer to buy into an existing established operation, at least until I have some experience of living and working there.

What do you do there?
