Vietnam Business Setup: the right pieces in place before you start moving.
We help you navigate the practical side of getting established in Vietnam - company setup, licensing, banking and vendors, coordinated so nothing stalls between them.
45-minute consultation · No pitch deck · The founder in every room
Vietnam business setup should answer one question before any other: what has to be ready before you can actually trade? We start there. Over ten years on the ground - in insurance and international client support, before founding Open Table - we've learned that registration steps run with licensed legal and accounting providers, while we hold the sequence, the vendors and the deadlines so nothing stalls between them.
What Vietnam business setup covers.
Engaged end to end, or one piece at a time - scoped to the decision in front of you.
Entity structuring & incorporation
The right entity model - LLC, branch or representative office - coordinated from decision to filing.
IRC & ERC coordination
Investment and enterprise registration certificates, coordinated with licensed providers.
Licensing & compliance mapping
What sub-licences and approvals your sector actually needs, before you assume you're clear to trade.
Banking, tax & accounting setup
The financial infrastructure in place before your first invoice.
Office, vendor & supplier selection
Referrals screened the same way as our partner introductions - vetted, not cold.
Operating-readiness handover
A checklist you can hand your team - compliant, and built to scale.
Advisory and execution, from one senior team.
The founder in every room
Senior people, not a junior bench. The person you meet on the call is the person representing you on the ground.
Vetted relationships, never a cold list
Vendors and providers are screened against your needs first. You meet a shortlist that fits, not a directory to chase.
We stay past the recommendation
Most firms hand you a checklist and leave. We remain in the room through filings, vendors and the second problem.
The candour to say no
If a shortcut would cost you later, we'll tell you before you take it.
A clear path from first call to operating-ready.

Vietnam business setup: common questions.
How much does business setup in Vietnam cost?
We don't quote a fee before understanding your situation. A USD 250 consultation, reviewed personally, establishes fit; scope and fee for the setup work are proposed afterward, in writing.
How long does company registration in Vietnam take?
Timelines depend on entity type and sector licensing - typically six to twelve weeks from incorporation to operating-ready, coordinated with licensed legal and accounting providers.
Do you handle the legal filings directly?
We coordinate registration with licensed legal and accounting providers rather than filing on your behalf - we hold the sequence, the vendors and the deadlines so nothing stalls between them.
What is the EASI framework?
EASI is how we run every engagement: Evaluate the market, Access the right partners, Structure the local setup, and Implement with representation on the ground. Business setup is the Structure stage.
Who do you work with?
Operators, founders and boards entering or scaling into Vietnam and Southeast Asia - typically companies that want senior, hands-on support rather than a large consulting bench.
