Vietnam company setup services: Don’t proceed alone

What your setup journey will look like depends on the source of your business capital. In Vietnam, current business establishment procedures are governed by the 2020 Law on Investment and a range of other statutes and labor codes. They regulate the steps foreigners and locals are obliged to take for new company setups in Vietnam, what incentives they qualify for (if any), and how they can lawfully operate after registration.

You don’t have to hold a degree in Vietnamese Law to identify what you should do next and how to avoid violations or delays. With LHD Law Firm, you are guided every step of the way, including:

  • Investment approval. This requirement is set for critical Vietnamese industries and markets. We’ll help you determine whether your investment must be pre-approved before setup procedures once you share more details on your business endeavors.
  • Document collection. To set up a company in Vietnam, entrepreneurs must obtain investment and enterprise registration certificates. We’ll explain all the documents that must be submitted for these certificates and help you prepare them for application.
  • Registration. Legal entity setup is always intertwined with corporate seal registration and obtaining an identification code for tax purposes. We’ll make sure you get all the essentials and possible incentives for your business.

Please note that additional requirements and restrictions may be imposed when setting up businesses in Vietnam in higher-priority sectors or when the purchase of land is involved.

Get up and running in 60 days

It doesn’t take long to break into the Vietnamese market. The company setup process for foreign-owned businesses is up to 60 days, according to local regulations. You can start planning your operations once the paperwork is prepared and submitted to the relevant agencies.

LHD Law Firm’s assistance can also benefit your business after setting up your entity. You can count on our team for everything from applying for service-specific licenses to obtaining work permits for your employees to ensuring compliance with your tax obligations.

Step 1: Get Legal Advice in English - Vietnamese

Meet with an attorney. We get legal advice on the type of business best suited to your situation.

Step 2: Find office space and legal representation for your business (if there is no available LHD office)

Then find an office space so that your business not only has a place of business but also a specific office address required by the government to apply for a business license. If you are not the legal representative for your business, you need to find a trusted partner.

Step 3: Apply for a business license (IRC, ERC or BL)

Prepare all the necessary documents and make sure that you meet all the requirements before applying for a business license. Expect a 15-day waiting period for a Vietnamese-owned company and a 60-day waiting period for a foreign company.

Step 4: Legal and tax advice for foreign companies after establishment

Running your Vietnamese business now can hire employees and enter into business contracts. There are several things you need to do, such as obtaining your company seal, applying for a tax identification number, opening a company bank account, and publicly announcing your incorporation.
