Setting Up a Company in Vietnam:
With Us vs Self-Setup

Feature Professional Support Self-Setup
Choosing the Right Structure Clear guidance on limited liability companies, joint stock companies, or branch options based on business goals. Extra time spent comparing structures without clear direction on foreign investor requirements.
Investment Registration Support with investment project details and registration steps where required for foreign investors. Investment registration requirements must be checked and prepared independently.
Enterprise Registration Company name, business lines, address, and enterprise registration details prepared with clear direction. Registration forms, business lines, and required company details must be handled separately.
Local Setup Requirements Guidance on registered address, legal representative, charter capital planning, and company documents. Local address, representative details, and capital information may be difficult to organize alone.
Tax & Accounting Setup Support for tax registration flow, accounting records, invoice setup, and reporting preparation. Post-registration tax and accounting steps may be missed after the company is formed.
Bank Account Preparation Corporate documents prepared for business account readiness and compliance review. Bank due diligence, company evidence, and proof-of-business documents must be handled alone.
