Ready to grow your business in Vietnam?
Your on-the-ground Vietnam business team
We help companies from around the world enter, operate, and scale in Vietnam - fast, compliant, and without building everything from scratch.
Six problems every foreign company hits - and one accountable local team that solves them.
IRC, BRC, conditional sectors, sub-licenses - Vietnam's licensing maze slows entry for months if you learn it by trial and error.
You need people on the ground now, but incorporation takes time. Misclassifying contractors creates real legal exposure.
VAT, CIT, PIT, e-invoicing, transfer pricing - deadlines are monthly and penalties compound quietly.
Distributors and suppliers look great on paper. Verifying them on the ground is a different job entirely.
Contracts, negotiation, authorities, banking - local practice differs from what HQ expects. Someone must bridge both sides.
After entry comes growth: more headcount, more filings, more vendors. You need one team accountable for all of it.
Five service lines that cover the full journey - from first feasibility check to a fully operating Vietnam entity.
Entry model advisory, IRC-BRC company setup, banking and post-setup compliance onboarding.
