Georgia Client: Rafael Ramirez
From Family Roots to Global Vision
Rafael Ramirez’s entrepreneurial journey began in Venezuela, where he and his cousins launched Inflalo, INC in 2012. What started as a small operation designing recreational and promotional inflatables has since grown into an international business serving clients across Latin America, Spain, and the United States.
After relocating to Georgia three years ago, Rafael set out to reestablish Inflalo in a new market. Backed by his background in accounting and years of experience in import and distribution, he focused on strengthening the business structure and aligning it with the expectations of U.S. customers.
Strengthening Operations and Preparing for Growth
Rafael first connected with Prospera in 2024 at a business seminar hosted at the Gwinnett County Public Library. He was looking for professional guidance to adapt his company to the Georgia market and scale it more effectively.
Prospera provided personalized consulting, a business advancement service to enhance his operations, and a referral to a trusted CPA for tax-related support. He also participated in business seminars focused on procurement and contracting, gaining insight into navigating government and corporate opportunities.
With Prospera’s support, Rafael refined his business model and gained vital tools to grow with clarity and purpose. Today, Inflalo operates with a solid business structure and a clear strategy for continued growth in the U.S. and abroad.
Building with Purpose
“At Inflalo, we dream big,” says Rafael. “We want our inflatables to create unforgettable experiences wherever they go. But more than that, we want our growth to generate opportunity, creating jobs, supporting social causes, and being part of stories that inspire transformation.”
The company is working to expand through distribution partnerships while exploring more sustainable production methods that minimize environmental impact. Rafael’s focus remains on building a business that grows responsibly and uplifts the communities it serves.
Discovering New Possibilities
Rafael credits Prospera for helping him see beyond the day-to-day. “Prospera helped us look at the business from a new perspective. Their guidance gave us the clarity and tools to make better decisions, adapt, and build something lasting, not just profitable, but meaningful.”
