MEI (Individual Microentrepreneur) is a category created to formalize small businesses in Brazil in a simple and accessible way, allowing entrepreneurs to issue invoices and access social security benefits, such as retirement due to age and sickness benefit. To open a company like MEI, the process is quick and can be done online on the Entrepreneur Portal. After formalization, the MEI needs to issue the DAS (Simples Nacional Collection Document) monthly, which includes the payment of reduced taxes. This formalization regularizes business activity, facilitates access to rights and enables business growth.
