INVESTOR’SMANUAL:

PROCESSMAPPING FOR THEESTABLISHMENTOF COMPANIES

IN PARÁ

The Economic Development Company of Pará (CODEC), seeks to stimu-

late the attraction, consolidation and expansion of productive investments

for the sustainable development of the state while at the same time, stri-

ves for continuous improvement of the business environment in the state.

CODEC is developing priority actions in the program Pará 2030, a strategic

economic development plan which aims to create a safe legal environ-

ment and to verticalize the production process of 23 economic segments.

Under these assumptions, we have developed, in partnership with State

and local agencies, this Investor’s Manual that maps the entire installment

process of companies in the state with the purpose to simplify the unders-

tanding of this process and to expedite the procedures for the constitution

of a company in Pará.

The mapping of the entire process has been elaborated in collaboration

with SEDEME, JUCEPA, SEFA, SEFIN, CBM, SEMAS, SESMA, ADEPARÁ

and the ADMINISTRATIVE POLICE DIVISION, in which each organ pre-

sents the step-by-step/procedures that a company must go through in

order to enable its business in the state.

Given these prospects, we expect that this Investors Manual “Process Ma-

pping for the Establishment of Companies in Pará” can be an instrument that

contributes to the simplification of the process to open new companies in the

state, and consequently, the increase of employment and income for the po-

pulation of Pará.

The CODEC offers special conditions for enterprises in installation by providing 04 (four) industrial districts in the state: Ananindeua, Bar-carena, Icoaraci, Marabá and to be soon available in Santarém. The process takes place in 2 (two) steps:

• Validation and acquisition of areas: technical visits of the venue and assessment for the reservation of the area for the intended indus-trial establishment. This can be done through the signing of a Pro-tocol of Intentions and the presentation of a Project Sheet, Social Contract and a Sketch of the Project

• Regulation: the investor must submit the standard documentation required according to the General Norms of CODEC, cited in Chap-ter III Art. 14, referring to the acquisition of the areas.

2. REGULATION PARÁ

INTEGRATOR

The System Pará Integrator is an online platform that centralizes the re-gistration information input in Federal, State and Municipal levels, faci-litating all legal procedures of registration and legalization of the enter-prise. With this system, all registry and licensing bodies receive, from the Commercial Registry, information regarding companies established, altered or extinguished in the state, decreasing the time of formalization or amendment of the business. Pará Integrator is contemplated in the National Network for the Simplification of Registry and Legalization of Companies and Businesses – Redesim. The Redesim proposes actions and standards to simplify and integrate the registration and legalization of companies. It is made up of federal, state and local agencies that are directly or indirectly linked to the process of registration and legalization.

In this system, the investor must follow the following steps:I. Access Pará Integrator: the investor must access the Universal Application on JUCEPA’s website and register.

II. Petition of Viability: The Feasibility Request is the prior consultof the business. At this stage, the Board of Trade certifies that the business brand is unique and the municipality grants the use of the land, that is to say, it checks if there is any restriction for the activity to be exercised at the company’s address

III. Creation of the Basic Entry Document (DBE) for the National Regis-ter of Legal Entities (CNPJ): After the feasibility approval, the user must inform the viability number to the Brazilian Federal Revenue System, so that, after having filled out the form, the user may have access to the Basic Entry Document of the CNPJ.

7 Investor’s Manualin the State of Pará

2.1. COMMERCIAL REGISTRY OF THE STATE OF PARÁ (BOARD OF TRADE) – JUCEPA

IV. Document Preparation: With the viability number and DBE genera-ted, one must access the Electronic Application (on the JUCEPA’s website). In this environment, the investor will inform the company data as well as the viability number and DBE that were acquired in previous steps. The JUCEPA system will validate all data and gene-rate all necessary documents for archiving, as well as standardized constitutional, alteration or extinction contracts.

V. Company Registration: In possession of the signed documents, the investor must protocol the process at a JUCEPA unit that will file the process, send a Digital Copy of the filed document and grant the company’s Identification Registration Number (NIRE) and CNPJ. In addition, the Commercial Board will transfer the company’s infor-mation to all the competent Licensing Bodies that promote, accor-ding to the degree of risk, the simplified licensing of the enterprise.

VI. Licensing: After registering the company and obtaining the NIRE and CNPJ, the investor should seek the licensing bodies (e.g. SE-MAS, ADEPARÁ, POLICE and FIRE DEPARTMENT) to obtain the operating permit and licenses. The investor can follow this entire process through the Integrator System that concentrates all the li-censing agencies in a single monitoring environment.

II. If the company does not present any legal impediment, the licensing fees of the secretariats involved in the process are sent to the taxpayer through the internet.

III. After the payment of the license fees, the municipal organs release the Feasibility Request to the Commercial Board (JUCEPA) so that it can proceed in the legalization of the opening of the company.

IV. The Operating Permit will be sent to the taxpayer, via the system, 24 hours after the company’s legalization by the Commercial Board.

V. If there is a problem identified by the secretaries, the taxpayer will be called by the Municipal Licensing Center to solve any pending issue.

Therefore, it can decide as to:

a) The need to present a Preliminary Environmental Impact Study and Environmental Impact Report - EPIA / RIMA; Environmental Enginee-ring Project - PEA; Environmental Control Plan - PCA; Recovery Project for Degraded and Altered Areas - PRADA; Riparian Forest Recovery Project - PRMC etc;

a) Preliminary License (LP), which authorizes the studies for the imple- mentation of the enterprise;

b) Installation License (LI), which authorizes the start of construction or work;

A) To establish residence in Brazil via an investor’s visa (“permanent visa” mo-dality, obtaining the “Permanent RNE”): The foreign investor may apply for an investor visa if he wishes to establish residence in Brazil. The visa category is permanent. Therefore, the authorization to grant a permanent visa to foreigners who intend to settle in Brazil for the purpose of investing their own resources of external origin in productive activities, will be conditioned to the proof of investment in a newly created or existing company, in an amount equal to or more than R$ 500,000.00 (five hundred thousand reais), upon presentation of an investment plan that proves the social interest of the investment. The general rules for this type of visa can be found in Normative Resolution No. 118/15 of the National Immigration Council (CNIG). There may be a permanent visa authorization when the value of the investment is below R $ 500,000.00, and if it is not less than R $ 150,000.00, for the entre-preneur who intends to settle in Brazil for the purpose of investing in activities of innovation, of basic or applied research or of scientific and technological character. In the analysis of the application for authorization, the enterprise receiving the investment must demonstrate compliance with at least one of the following conditions: I - have resources directed to the support of a governmental
