For 2027, Romper projects at least 125,000 immigrants arriving and 9,000 companies opening.

Brazilians are the majority — 58% of residencies in 2025 and 76% in the first half of 2026 (DNM) — but the unit serves immigrants of every nationality and the Paraguayan who opens a company. Each of them needs, at some point, accounting, a company and a place to work.

WHO IS BEHIND IT

Unit 1 exists. You visit it before you decide.

Grupo Romper has operated since 2018 in Mariano Roque Alonso, in Greater Asunción: its own headquarters, its own team, its own fleet and a system that records every case. It is this operation — not a project — that Romper Hub brings to your city.

  • Since 2018our own operation in Paraguay
  • ~2,000immigration cases in 18 months
  • +740,000followers who arrive every day through Romper's channels
  • Headquarters, system and fleetall our own — nothing outsourced

Romper's unit in your city: accounting, companies and coworking.

  • Accounting

    The annual fee for individuals and companies, renewed every year.

  • Companies

    Formation and upkeep of EAS companies, asset holding companies and the accounting for the client's US company.

  • Coworking

    Desks, meeting rooms, a studio and event space — the immigrant entrepreneur's address in the city.

And more than that

The entrepreneurs who open a company in your city come through your unit.

  • Meeting room rental
  • Recording studio
  • Talks and events
  • Networking that turns into new business

Two models. One is the focus.

The model we sell

Hub Base

Accounting + companies + coworking. Your clients' immigration follow-up stays with the headquarters team; they come to your unit for everything that comes after.

Investment
US$ 75K–260K + working capital of US$ 12K–35K, depending on the city.
Handover
Within 8 months, deadline in the contract.
Team
Accountant, receptionist and assistant, trained at headquarters.
On request

Hub Full

Everything in Base + in-house immigration: a bilingual immigration manager, a driver and a van to pick up clients at the border or the airport.

Investment
US$ 120K–320K + working capital of US$ 20K–50K.

More staff, more investment, more operation. It exists for the city that calls for it — it is not the starting point.

Amounts exclude VAT, vary by city and are detailed in the Offering Document. Payment in three milestone-based installments.

Every client who arrives climbs a ladder. Every step has a list price.

We don't publish projections. We publish what the client pays Romper today — and what renews every year.

In Hub Base, Romper handles this step; the client arrives at your unit at step 1.

One client, one ladder

A client who climbs the whole ladder buys, over the years, almost US$ 15K in list-price services — and renews their accounting every year. How many climb, and how fast, is in the Offering Document spreadsheet, with three scenarios — not on this page.

Romper list prices as of Nov 4, 2026, excluding VAT; subject to change. They are not a revenue projection for the unit.

The numbers work in both. The difference is how much you want to operate.

Hub Base

What you do
Accounting, companies, holding companies, LLCs, citizenship, coworking.
What Romper does for you
Your clients' immigration follow-up, with the headquarters' structure, fleet and immigration manager. All of Romper's advisory services work together with your unit, feeding what you sell.
What you take on
A team of three and a commercial space. No van, no driver, no border runs.

Hub Full

What you do
Everything in Base + the immigration follow-up.
What Romper does for you
Training, system, method and support.
What you take on
A bilingual immigration manager, a driver, a van, service for newly arriving immigrants — more investment, more people, more headaches. And the advisory revenue stays in your unit.

The unit serves immigrants of any nationality — and the Paraguayan who opens a company.

Base is the path for those who want to run accounting and companies with Romper's immigration behind them; Full, for those who want the complete operation in the city.

IN THE CONTRACT

What Romper signs before you pay.

Romper puts money and deadlines on paper before you see results. This is in the contract, not in a sales pitch.

List prices, not projections. A contract, not a promise.

  1. Handover within 8 months. If the unit is late through Romper's fault, Romper pays the extra rent for that period.
  2. Payment in three milestone-based installments. Never everything at signing. The last one is only due when the launch portfolio hits the agreed target.
  3. Audits at 30, 60, and 90 days. And quarterly after that — Romper measures the unit with you, not against you.
  4. Offering Document at least 10 days ahead. Before you sign any contract or make any payment, with the three financial scenarios and the numbers laid open.
  5. Exclusive territory for 10 years. One unit per city; once signed, the city comes off the list.
  6. Termination with written rules. Listed causes, 30 days to cure, proportional refund when Romper is at fault.

What you receive on handover day.

  • Commercial spaceChosen, renovated and fitted out to Romper's standard.
  • Façade and signageWith Romper Hub's visual identity.
  • Trained teamAccountant, receptionist and assistant, hired and trained at headquarters.
  • Romper systemERP/CRM with your portfolio inside.
  • Unit carBranded with the Romper Hub logo.

  • Supported launch90 days with headquarters at your side.
  • Campaigns in your cityThrough Romper's channels, with 740,000+ followers.
  • The unit's own accountingAnd the unit's own tax setup.
  • Headquarters supportLegal, technical and commercial, with an SLA.
  • Romper Hub brandRight to use “Romper Hub [your city]” for 10 years.

Six cities. One unit in each.

There is no “last unit”. There are six cities and a selection process. Once signed, the city comes off the list.

What an investor asks before signing.

How much does it cost, exactly — and what is included in the price?

Two numbers: the ready unit and the working capital, which stays in your account. The unit price includes everything that comes at handover — renovated space, 3 months of rent, furniture and equipment, façade, vehicle, system, training, 90 days of launch support and a launch portfolio with a target. The exact figure for your city and your model is in the Offering Document.

How much does the unit bill, and how long until it pays for itself?

We don't publish revenue or return projections — and we recommend being wary of anyone who does. A recurring-services unit lives on its portfolio: each accounting client pays an annual fee and renews, and revenue grows as the portfolio builds up. In the Offering Document you receive the unit spreadsheet with three scenarios (conservative, base and accelerated) and every assumption laid open — portfolio month by month, ticket per client, team and rent costs — plus the contractual target for the launch portfolio. You redo the math with your accountant and, on Unit Day, check each assumption against our real operation.

How and when do I pay — and in what currency?

In dollars, by bank transfer, in three milestone-based installments: at contract signing, at handover and when the launch portfolio reaches its target. If you prefer, you can pay in guaraníes at the Central Bank of Paraguay's reference rate on the day. The working capital is not paid to Romper: it stays in the account of your Paraguayan company, which we help you set up. To bring the funds in, the standard route is an international transfer through your bank or exchange broker in your home country, with the proof of origin the Paraguayan bank requires — income tax filing, a sale contract for an asset or statements — the same paperwork you gather for residency. If you have already decided to move countries, the Brazilian tax exit, which we also handle, changes the tax treatment of the transfer, and that is analyzed in your case. No payment is accepted in cash, and cash above US$ 10K must be declared when entering Paraguay.

Can I buy as a foreigner, without living in Paraguay yet? Does the franchise give me residency?

Yes — and that is the case for most of those interested. The unit is set up as a Paraguayan company (EAS) in your name; the partner can be a foreigner. Your residency is a separate process, which Romper guides you through, as it does for every client: temporary residency already gives you the Paraguayan ID card and lets you operate the unit. Since 2026 Paraguay also has residency by investment (Investor Pass); whether your investment in the unit qualifies for it is something our legal team analyzes in your case, on Unit Day — no promises before the analysis.

Do I have to operate it myself? Can I put in a manager — or just invest?

Someone you trust has to be in the unit: you or your own manager. In Full, the immigration manager takes a test and spends two weeks at headquarters. Investing only, without operating, is not possible today — you join the list of investor partners.

Where do the clients come from — and what assures me they will come?

From Romper's operation (video, Google, WhatsApp, website), which already serves clients from your city today. The system routes leads from your territory to your unit, with origin and date on record, and the unit opens with a launch portfolio with a contractual target. There is no “client guarantee”; there is recorded priority routing and a target in the contract.

Are the clients mine? What is mine at the end of the contract — and what is the unit worth if I sell?

The contract with the end client belongs to the network — that is what protects the client, you and the brand. What is yours is the unit's economic right: the earnings on your city's portfolio and the operation of the coworking space, for the 10 years of the territory. That right can be transferred to another operator approved by Romper after 24 months of operation. The reference value is calculated on the revenue the unit received over the last 12 months, counting only clients with six months or more of payments, and Romper has the right of first refusal at that value. In practice: the larger and older the portfolio, the more your unit is worth.

Is the city mine alone? For how long?

Yes. One unit per city, a 10-year territory; Romper does not open another Romper Hub in your city. Asunción and Mariano Roque Alonso stay with Romper.

What if the unit doesn't open on time — or if things go wrong, how do I exit?

Three protections, all in the contract — as written in “What Romper signs before you pay”. Deadline: handing over the keys within 8 months is Romper's obligation; if we are late, the rent for the extra period is on us, and, if the delay exceeds the tolerance set in the contract, you can terminate and get back the part of the price corresponding to what was not delivered. Operation: Romper audits the unit at 30, 60, and 90 days and quarterly after that, and steps in to protect clients before any termination. Exit: you can transfer the unit to another operator after 24 months (previous question); termination for breach, by either side, has a 30-day cure period and consequences defined in the contract. Outside these cases, amounts paid are non-refundable — which is why the Offering Document reaches you at least 10 days before any payment, for review with your lawyer.

Is there a unit already running? Can I see it before signing?

Unit 1 is Romper's headquarters in Mariano Roque Alonso, which becomes the network's school. Unit Day takes place in person, there — you see the team, the system and your city's numbers before any decision.

Application for Unit Day.
