Establishing a Vietnamese limited liability company

A Vietnamese LLC is a common structure for a foreign-invested operating business. We help assess market access, project requirements, ownership and the registration route before incorporation.

01 / COMPANY TYPE

Single or multiple members

A single-member LLC has one owner. A multi-member LLC has 2–50 members, subject to the applicable enterprise and foreign-investment rules.

02 / FOREIGN INVESTMENT

Market access & approvals

Foreign ownership may be possible in full for permitted activities. The business lines, investor profile, treaty commitments and any sector conditions must be reviewed before confirming the structure.

03 / LOCAL REQUIREMENTS

Office & legal representative

Maintain a lawful head-office address in Vietnam and at least one legal representative residing in Vietnam. The charter sets the representative’s powers and responsibilities.

Tax & investment planning

Vietnam’s standard corporate income-tax rate is 20%. Reduced 15% or 17% rates for qualifying smaller enterprises and project-specific incentives are conditional, with statutory exclusions. Foreign ownership or overseas customers does not itself exempt the company from Vietnamese tax.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before you begin

Can a foreign investor own the company in full?

Full foreign ownership can be possible for permitted business lines. Market-access conditions, specialised laws and treaty commitments must be checked for the intended activity and investor.

Which LLC structures are available?

Vietnam recognises a single-member LLC and a multi-member LLC with 2–50 members. The choice depends on ownership and the investment project.

Is an Investment Registration Certificate required?

A new foreign-invested project generally involves investment-registration requirements, followed by enterprise registration. The applicable route and any exceptions depend on the transaction, project and current law.

What local representation is needed?

The enterprise must ensure that at least one legal representative resides in Vietnam. Its charter allocates the representative’s titles, powers and duties; absence and authorisation arrangements must comply with the applicable rules.

What ongoing compliance is required?

Maintain corporate and accounting records, prepare annual financial statements, complete applicable audit and tax filings, and keep investment and enterprise particulars current. Capital contributions, invoicing, employment and investment reporting also need attention.

Can BRIS GROUP help with banking and tax registration?

We can coordinate the agreed documentation and local professional support. Capital contributions and banking should follow the applicable investment and foreign-exchange rules; the bank makes its own onboarding decision.
