Big promises, a disastrous service.

Lies about company formation timelines, response times, and the completion of legal and accounting tasks.

They will lie to you about everything. Nothing will be clear. No one will care about your situation. The charming smiles and grand promises at the beginning will quickly be replaced by emptiness, silence, and disillusionment. Opaque processes. Inability to provide clear answers about anything. Contradictory messages. Accountants will send you to customer support, and support will send you back to the accountants—until you’re left with nothing but your tears.

You will lose time. You will lose money. You will lose energy. Entrepreneurship is already hard enough—don’t make it even more difficult by dealing with these incompetent people. They will promise to respond within 4 hours but will take 4 months—if you're lucky.

If you have even the slightest love and pride for your business, protect it and stay away from Rauva. Even if you make the effort to speak Portuguese, you will face issues with them every single day.

They lie about their Trustpilot reviews: after the very first onboarding meeting, the accountant slyly slips you a review link, supposedly to evaluate the onboarding session, when in reality, it leads to Rauva’s main review page. Look at many other reviews—you’ll often see mentions of just one meeting and one person, because they only refer to that first session with the accountant, which always goes well since it’s filled with big promises. They have to deceive their clients (what a nice welcome gift!) just to get positive reviews.

One positive point, however: Rauva provides an excellent example of what NOT to do in business. If you want to build a successful company, just take a close look at everything Rauva does—and do the exact opposite. You’ll be on the right path!
