The Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae) is a private institution that promotes the competitiveness and sustainable development of micro and small businesses—those with an annual gross revenue of up to R$4.8 million.
Its focus is on strengthening entrepreneurship and accelerating the formalization of the economy through partnerships with the public and private sectors, training programs, access to credit and innovation, promotion of associative networks, incentives for entrepreneurial education in formal education, trade fairs, and business roundtables. The solutions developed by Sebrae serve entrepreneurs looking to start their first business, small businesses that are already established and seeking a new market position, as well as individuals who wish to build their life’s work by developing their entrepreneurial skills from childhood onward.
