Business Group

What Business Group does

Business Group is a privately held Brazilian business advisory firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Pato Branco, Paraná, with a secondary office in Francisco Beltrão. The firm serves small and medium enterprises (PMEs) across Brazil through a 360-degree integrated consulting methodology ("Gestão 360 Graus") built on the 3Ps framework (People, Processes, Products), covering commercial and sales, corporate finance, resource capture, strategic HR, marketing, training, and legal advisory. Its stated approach emphasizes co-execution with clients rather than recommendation-only engagements, and it has served more than 2,100 companies, structured more than R$ 500 million in client resources (including R$ 150 million+ in FINEP innovation projects), and trained more than 4,500 people.

The group operates a portfolio of five wholly-owned specialized subsidiaries that extend its service depth: Gestor RH (HR, recruitment, selection, and corporate training), Result (credit and asset recovery managing R$ 180 million+ in portfolios), Marion Advocacia (legal advisory, franchises, and intellectual property), N&R² (business valuation and resource capture, with R$ 700 million+ in valuations and R$ 500 million+ in captured projects), and BG Agro (agribusiness advisory launched in 2025). There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm's "technology" is its codified methodology, multidisciplinary bench, and process-driven delivery model.

Business Group makes money through professional services engagements with SMB clients, priced on a custom quote basis with multi-year contracts that vary by service type, project scope, and sector. Its go-to-market is sales-led and community-led, combining direct field consulting (in-person and online) with channel partnerships — most notably Cresol credit cooperative, which provides warm referrals from its member SME base — and partnerships with Núcleo da Mulher Empresária and FINEP. Geographic coverage spans at least Paraná, São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, and Santa Catarina, and customer segments extend across food and beverage, services, education, automotive, energy, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, financial, IT, and sports verticals.
