“Both Tin & Phat Tran have been immensely helpful from the day I reached out to Emerhub- on-boarding calls, details and messages were always responded to almost immediately, with a great bit of reassurance and help.

I’ve been constantly blown away by how efficient the team has been-well informed, helpful and were able to get the process sorted out very quickly (despite my initial call being on a public holiday!). Very grateful for their support.”

Key requirements for setting up a company in Vietnam

No minimum capital requirements
Most industries do not require a minimum capital investment. This means you can adjust your starting capital to suit your plan. Non-monetary assets can count towards capital. Small companies with low overhead can register for as low as USD 3,000
Foreign founders can have 100% ownership

Most business classifications are open to 100% foreign investment and ownership, and do not require special approval or licenses.

You can have up to 50 company founders – similar in nature to shareholders – as either individuals or investors.

Simple corporate structure

A sole director of a company may also count as one of the founders.

Hire as many foreigners as required, provided that they have a university degree and three years of experience.

Accounting Associate, Phu, is well-versed and knowledgable of Vietnmese accounting standards and is very prompt in responding to our queries and needs. I would strongly recommend his services to other businesses.
