Before you close the contract, check the company against Brazil's federal public registries: the Federal Revenue Service, the Office of the Comptroller General, the Federal Court of Accounts, the Attorney General of the National Treasury (PGFN), the Central Bank and the Ministry of Labour. One search, results on screen, no charge.
They will reach your systems, your data or your operation. Checking takes a minute. Unwinding a contract takes months.
A suspended or closed tax registration blocks invoicing and payment. It shows up in the Revenue Service records long before it shows up in your cash flow.
Federal sanctions, tax debt and the forced-labour register are public and open to anyone. Look afterwards and you look with the contract already in force.
The Federal Revenue Service, the Transparency Portal, the Federal Court of Accounts, the Attorney General of the National Treasury (PGFN), the Central Bank, the Ministry of Labour and municipal official gazettes. Every finding names which one it came from.
The report shows what the source published at the moment of the search. A sanction whose term has ended is shown as ended, with the dates it was in force.
A federal sanction covers the federal sphere. Quarterly data holds for its own period. A finding about an individual is shown as a probable match, and the report says so beside it. A source that fails is shown as failed.
Both products are free and the result appears on screen. Reading what it means for your contract is analysis, and that is where Strix comes in.
