Core-SP

What Core-SP does

Core-SP is the Conselho Regional dos Representantes Comerciais do Estado de São Paulo, a federal autonomous entity (autarquia federal) established by Law 4.886/65 in 1965 and supervised by CONFERE. Its statutory mandate is to register, discipline, and oversee commercial representatives — both individuals (pessoa física) and legal entities (pessoa jurídica) — practicing in São Paulo state. The council issues professional credentials, provides legal orientation, administers an ethics and discipline code (Resolução 2.043/2022), conducts fiscalization against unauthorized practice, and offers alternative dispute resolution. It also runs continuing education programs, a job board (Balcão de Oportunidades), a benefits program with third-party discounts, and an electronic ombudsman (E-OUV).

Core-SP's service delivery rests on a digital portal (Área Restrita) supported by 12 regional sectional offices and a headquarters in Bela Vista, São Paulo, with multi-channel outreach via website, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, and WhatsApp. Public-facing digital products include a registration query system, scheduling tool, fee calculator (Simulador de Valores), and a transparency portal aligned with LGPD compliance. The technology stack is conventional web-portal architecture with no API or SDK exposure and no documented AI/ML capabilities.

The business model is regulatory and self-sustaining: revenue derives from mandatory annual fees (anuidades) paid by approximately 250,000 registered representatives, supplemented by transactional emoluments and administrative fines. In FY2024, budgetary collection reached approximately 55 million reais, a 12.9% increase over FY2023. The entity receives no government subsidies, is governed by a board elected triennially by its registered members, and is operationally bounded to São Paulo state.

• CRA-SP (Conselho Regional de Administração de São Paulo): São Paulo's professional council for administrators, a sister autarquia. Comparable as a São Paulo-based professional licensing/fiscalization body funded by mandatory annual fees, with the same structural model of sectional service, ethics codes, and digital portals.
