Catalyst taps into Brazil market
Birmingham-based Catalyst Corporate Finance has joined forces with Brazilian partner firm BroadSpan Capital to boost the number of deals with the South American country.
The corporate finance firm said it has created a dedicated Brazil desk and will conduct regular bilateral visits to the country, which is the seventh largest economy in the world.
It will also give corporates, owners and entrepreneurs who are looking to move into the growing market access to conference facilities.
Partner Mark Wilson will head up the Brazil desk in the UK.
He said: "Using our local knowledge we will provide acquisition searches, advice on structuring and completing deals in Brazil, information on sector trends and valuations and access to corporate decision-makers and owners.
"This is a very exciting time to be involved in a country whose economy is growing rapidly and is experiencing a massive expansion in consumer spending power. The 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games will also give rise further investment opportunities."
BroadSpan Capital is Catalyst's partner in Latin America. The BroadSpan team covers Latin America, the Caribbean and the U.S. Hispanic market from offices in Rio de Janeiro, Miami and Bogota.
