We help international brands build their business in Chile.
We import and distribute international brands in Chile, or act as their local sales representative with retailers, wholesalers and businesses.We focus on products that are new to Chile or clearly different from what is already available.
Discuss your brand
You know your brand.
We know the terrain.
Different starting points
There is no single way into Chile.
A brand may be evaluating the market, preparing to launch, or already selling in Chile and looking for better results.
Belay can work from any of those starting points. The role changes with the opportunity. The objective stays the same: turn uncertainty about the Chilean market into real commercial results.
How We Work
Different opportunities need different structures.
Two ways to work together, depending on who holds the stock and runs the local operation.
- 01
Distribution & Brand Development
Belay buys your products, imports them and holds the stock in Chile, then sells through retail, specialty stores and direct to consumers. We set local pricing, adapt the marketing and build the brand’s position in the market.
- 02
Commercial Representation
Belay acts as your sales agent in Chile. We connect you with major buyers, including retail chains, wholesalers and companies, lead the negotiation and close the orders. You invoice and ship directly to the customer, so Belay never holds stock.
What We Do
From first questions to a working business in Chile.
Understand the opportunity.
Assess the brand, product, market potential, competitive landscape and channels to identify the right local approach.
Plan the way in.
Define the right channels, commercial priorities, pricing approach and go-to-market plan for Chile.
Develop the market.
Win customers, open channels, build local relationships and sell, using real sales results to decide what comes next.
Throughout, you get pipeline tracking, regular reports and performance reviews.
Brand Fit
We work with a focused portfolio of brands. This is what we look for.

Considering Chile?
Entering Chile does not have to begin with a full distribution commitment. Belay can start with a defined market validation phase, with scope, timeline and commercial targets agreed upfront.
