Chester businessman launches Brazilian food brand with £20k startup loan

Cheshire entrepreneur Volnei Borgert has secured a five-figure startup loan to launch Brasil Brazil, a new Brazilian home food brand.

The £20k funding from Business Finance Solutions will allow Volnei to target restaurants, distributors, wholesalers and cooking enthusiasts with his collection of sauces, rubs, salts and frozen street food.

Volnei, who helped churrasco-style restaurant Bem Brasil expand outside of London eight years ago and has worked in the food industry for 20 years, has invested the BFS cash into the manufacturing process by acquiring the equipment needed to ramp up production.

He commented: “Food and hospitality has been my career and my life for years and I’ve long harboured a dream of bringing a traditional taste of Brazil to the UK.
