The go-to-market is direct-to-business, executed through phone, WhatsApp, email, and on-site visits, with a complementary Mercado Livre marketplace listing for smaller items. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has no public funding, no parent company, no disclosed ownership structure, and no known institutional investors.
