FAQ on Business Setup in Vietnam

Every successful market entry starts with the right guidance. At The Nest Asia, we’re deeply committed to helping you make well-informed decisions from day one. Vietnam’s legal requirements and business structures are complex—and getting it right early avoids costly missteps later.

We work closely with you to assess the best entry model, connect you with trusted partners, shape the right service or product offerings, and choose ideal locations. With our local insight and hands-on support, we ensure your business starts strong and grows with confidence in Vietnam.

Vietnam’s regions vary widely—what works for one industry or market may not suit another. Key factors to evaluate include access to materials, infrastructure, labor availability, government incentives, taxes, market proximity, local laws, and political stability.

To choose the right location, a comparative, data-driven approach is essential. This may involve market research, location screening, site visits, and detailed due diligence. At The Nest Asia, we support you through every step to ensure your selected location aligns with your goals and sets your business up for success.

Registering a business in Vietnam involves both strategic planning and legal procedures. Here’s a simplified overview:

  1. Plan Your Investment – Develop a clear business plan, conduct market research, and prepare financial forecasts to assess viability.

  2. Seek Expert Advice – Consult 2–3 legal or business service providers to compare guidance. At The Nest Asia, we tailor advice to your unique goals.

  3. Understand Requirements – Learn the basics: required capital, business structure, ownership model, and suitable locations.

  4. Choose a Service Provider – Select a trusted partner to handle legal setup and documentation.

Legal Registration Process (Handled by Your Provider):

  • Determine your business type, capital, ownership, and activity.

  • Apply for your Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) and Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC).

  • Complete post-registration steps: tax registration, company seal, bank account setup, publication, and any sub-licenses.

At The Nest Asia, we manage the entire process—so you can focus on launching your business with confidence.

Setting up a company in Vietnam typically takes 3 to 7 weeks, including obtaining the Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) and Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC). Timelines may vary based on your business location and structure. If your business operates in a regulated sector requiring additional licenses, the process may take longer.
