Garretto

About Garretto

Garretto is a Food & Hospitality dealmaking and regulatory firm focused on Brazil.

We work with international investors, entrepreneurs, and cross-border capital to structure, acquire, and implement private Food & Hospitality businesses in Brazil.

Our model combines private dealmaking, corporate and financial structuring, M&A, business structuring, and specialized regulatory implementation within a single platform.

Garretto operates across the transaction and operating lifecycle — from identifying and evaluating opportunities, structuring acquisitions and partnerships, and organizing capital and governance, through the regulatory, licensing, sanitary, operational, and implementation requirements necessary for a business to function in Brazil.

Our regulatory practice is therefore not limited to compliance. We translate regulatory requirements into the structures, processes, documentation, controls, and operating conditions required to implement a business in practice.

This integrated approach is particularly relevant to international capital entering Brazil, where a viable investment thesis must ultimately be translated into a locally structured and operational business.

Garretto connects the transaction with the operation — combining dealmaking and regulatory execution to help international capital enter, acquire, structure, and operate Food & Hospitality businesses in Brazil.
