Frequently Asked Questions
What are the steps in the internalization process?
They are essentially divided into 3 phases:
- In the initial phase, we guide anyone with a project – whether an entrepreneur, a startup, or an innovator – from the concept stage of the idea to the first commercial closing.
- After receiving the first payment, the second phase of expansion begins. Here, the focus shifts to creating a stable presence in the market and on the ground.
- Finally, the project is ready to make the leap into the Consolidation phase, strengthening its STABLE presence, making it organized and competitive.
