Representadas

Representadas is the feminine plural noun present in Spanish and Portuguese that refers to the entities, brands, or parties that are represented by another person or organization. In commercial contexts, representadas are the manufacturers, suppliers, or service providers whose products or offerings a sales agent, distributor, or agency promotes and sells on their behalf.

In practice, a representante or agência de representação signs agreements with multiple representadas to manage their product lines within a defined territory. The representadas grant the right to market, sell, or service their products, while the representative assumes responsibilities such as marketing, order processing, and after-sales support. Contracts typically specify territory or exclusivity, pricing policies, minimum purchase commitments, performance targets, and termination conditions. The term helps distinguish the entities being represented from the actor who represents them.

Regional usage varies: in Spanish-speaking contexts, representadas commonly refers to manufacturers or suppliers; in Portuguese-speaking contexts, it likewise denotes brands or product lines represented by a commercial agent. Some jurisdictions require formal agency or distribution arrangements, while others rely on general contract law. The word is most often used in professional or formal contexts, appearing in contracts, trade communications, and business reports to identify the represented parties distinctly from the representing party.
