Like many major football clubs around the world, Santos FC is sponsored by many corporations. Since 1979, Santos has had 38 different sponsors, with Rainha being the club's first kit manufacturer. Casas Bahia, a Brazilian retail chain which specializes in furniture and home appliances, became the first sponsor for the Peixe. The club is currently primarily sponsored by Nike, Inc.
The team has had many kit-manufacturing sponsors that invest in the club as well. Many of these sponsors are nationally based but have expanded to other nations. The current material manufacturers sponsors are Banco BMG (a financial institution in the BMG Group, based in Belo Horizonte), CSU (an American business unit that offers contact centers and large investments), Netshoes (a company of internet retailers which began operations in February 2000 and is now the largest store of its kind in Latin America) and Seara (a Brazilian food company that specializes in the development and distribution of meat products).
