When using the service, businesses do not need to worry about complicated procedures, missing documents or long waiting times. The entire process is guided in detail, ensuring that valid and legal licenses are issued.
Instead of learning the procedures themselves, businesses receive full support from consulting, preparing documents to submitting them to the business registration office.
Businesses save opportunity costs, avoid paperwork errors and ensure quick establishment time. This is the optimal solution to quickly put the company into operation.
The procedure for establishing a company includes preparing legal documents, submitting business registration, publishing information and carving a seal.
The service provides standard procedures according to the Enterprise Law, ensuring valid documents and minimizing the risk of being returned. Enterprises can rest assured that the implementation is in accordance with regulations, transparent and legally safe.
Enterprises can choose a single-member LLC, a two-member LLC, a joint-stock company or a private enterprise.
Each type has different advantages and disadvantages. The service will advise you on choosing the appropriate form based on your capital needs, number of members and development orientation.
The process of establishing a business includes the following steps: consulting on choosing the appropriate type (LLC, joint stock, private, etc.), drafting a complete dossier according to regulations, submitting the registration to the competent authority and monitoring the processing process. After that, the business receives the registration certificate, proceeds to carve a legal seal for use in transactions, and finally publishes information on the National Information Portal. Each step is carefully implemented to ensure legality and limit risks.
The entire procedure is supported by a professional team, helping customers save time and avoid errors. Instead of doing it yourself for weeks, businesses can complete it in just a few working days. Thanks to that, the company soon has legal status to sign contracts, deploy operations and build a brand. This is an important advantage that helps business owners focus on business from the beginning.
The dossier includes personal documents of founding members, company charter, list of members, charter capital and registered business lines.
The service ensures that the documents are drafted completely, accurately, and in accordance with the requirements of the business registration agency. Thanks to that, the success rate right from the first submission is increased.
Enterprises must meet the conditions of charter capital, non-prohibited industries, legal representatives and clear headquarters address.
Understanding the conditions before establishment helps avoid legal problems. Consulting services will check and ensure that the company meets the conditions according to current regulations.
After obtaining a license, businesses need to carry out procedures such as tax registration, opening a bank account, ordering electronic invoices and declaring labor.

Businesses can focus on their core business without worrying about complicated legal procedures. This is a comprehensive, safe and effective solution.
This content provides the foundational knowledge to help you understand the benefits of formalizing your business, distinguish between initial options, and grasp the core legal requirements to start your entrepreneurial journey on a solid footing.
This is the first question and also the most important strategic decision for anyone starting a business. Although sole proprietorship has simpler procedures, establishing a company offers outstanding advantages, laying the foundation for sustainable and professional development.
Independent legal entity: The company is recognized by law as a separate legal entity, with assets, rights and obligations independent of the owner. This creates a clear boundary between personal assets and business assets.
Limited liability: This is the core advantage. Owners (capital contributors, shareholders) are only responsible for the debts and financial obligations of the company within the scope of the capital contributed. Your personal assets such as houses and vehicles will be safely protected from business risks. In contrast, business owners must bear unlimited liability with all of their personal assets.
Prestige and professional image: A company with its own name, seal and tax code will create a more professional and prestigious image in the eyes of partners, customers and credit institutions. This makes it easier for you to sign large contracts and access loans from banks.
Unlimited ability to raise capital: Only companies, especially joint stock companies, have the right to issue stocks and bonds to raise capital from the public and investors. This is a path to development and expansion that household businesses cannot have.
Clear governance structure and succession: The company has a tight organizational structure, clearly defining the rights and obligations of each member, making governance transparent and effective. Capital transfers and changes in ownership are also easily carried out, ensuring the continuity and succession of the business.
No size limit: A business household is limited in the number of employees and business location, while a company can expand its size without limit with many branches and representative offices nationwide.
Vietnam's Enterprise Law stipulates many types of enterprises, but the most popular and widely chosen are the following three types:
Single Member LLC: Owned by an individual or organization. This type is suitable for those who want full control over their business operations.
Limited Liability Company with Two or More Members: Has from 2 to 50 members contributing capital. This is an ideal choice for businesses with many people cooperating in business and wanting to strictly control capital transfer.
Joint Stock Company: Requires a minimum of 3 shareholders and no maximum limit. This is the only type of company that is allowed to issue shares to the public, suitable for large-scale businesses or those that need to raise capital widely.
Private enterprise: Owned by an individual who is personally responsible for all activities of the enterprise with all of his/her assets. Due to the risk of unlimited liability, this type is becoming less popular.
Before you begin, you need to make sure you meet the basic requirements as required by law:
Conditions on subjects: All organizations and individuals have the right to establish and manage enterprises in Vietnam, except for some prohibited cases (for example: cadres, civil servants, and public employees are not allowed to establish and manage enterprises; minors; people being prosecuted for criminal liability...).
Conditions for business names: The company name must be unique and not duplicate or be confused with the name of a business registered nationwide. The name must not contain words or symbols that violate the historical, cultural, ethical and traditional customs of the nation.
Conditions for head office: The head office must be a legal contact location with a clearly defined address (house number, lane, street, commune/ward/town...). An apartment can only be registered as a head office if it has an office function. An apartment with a residential function cannot be used as a company head office.
Conditions on business lines: Enterprises are free to do business in industries and professions that are not prohibited by law. However, for some conditional business lines (such as healthcare, education, tourism, etc.), enterprises must meet specific requirements on sub-licenses, practice certificates or legal capital.
Charter capital requirements: Charter capital is the total value of assets contributed or committed to be contributed by members/shareholders when establishing a company. The law does not stipulate a minimum charter capital for most industries, except for some industries that require statutory capital (the minimum capital required to conduct business in that industry). The owner must contribute sufficient capital within 90 days from the date of issuance of the Business Registration Certificate.
This section takes an in-depth look at the two most common types of companies, LLC and Corporation, comparing their legal responsibilities, capital structures, and governance mechanisms to help you make an informed decision that best suits your business vision.
A limited liability company is a popular choice for small and medium-sized businesses, with the notable features of limited liability and a not-too-complicated management structure.
Owner: Owned by a single individual or organization.
Liability: The owner is responsible for the debts and other property obligations of the company within the scope of the company's charter capital.
Organizational structure: Very compact. Owners can choose the model of the company's Chairman concurrently being the Director/General Director or hire someone else to be the Director/General Director.
Advantages: Owner has full authority to decide all company matters, simple structure, easy to manage.
Disadvantages: Limited ability to raise capital due to not being able to issue shares.
Members: Number of members from 2 to maximum 50 people.
Liability: Members are responsible for the debts and property obligations of the company within the scope of the capital they have committed to contribute.
Organizational structure: Including Board of Members (highest decision-making body), Chairman of the Board of Members, Director/General Director.
Advantages: Combining capital and management capacity of many members. Capital transfer is strictly controlled (priority must be given to offering to remaining members), helping to limit the penetration of strangers into the company.
Disadvantages: Still limited in the ability to raise capital compared to joint stock companies.
A joint stock company is an ideal form of business for large-scale operations, especially when there is a need to raise capital extensively.
Shareholders: Minimum requirement is 3 founding shareholders and there is no limit on the maximum number.
Legal liability: Shareholders are only responsible for the debts and other financial obligations of the enterprise within the scope of the contributed capital (corresponding to the number of shares owned).
Organizational structure: More complicated than a LLC, including the General Meeting of Shareholders (the highest decision-making body), Board of Directors, Director/General Director and Board of Supervisors (if there are more than 11 individual shareholders or an institutional shareholder owns more than 50% of total shares).
Charter capital: Divided into equal parts called shares.
Advantages: Ability to mobilize capital is very flexible and diverse through the issuance of stocks and bonds. Transferring shares is relatively free and easy, creating high liquidity.
Disadvantages: Complex management structure, decision making can be slower. Risk of being acquired by competitors through share buybacks.
To help you have a visual view and make the right choice, below is a detailed comparison table between these two types of businesses.
| Criteria | Company Limited | Joint Stock Company |
| Number of members/shareholders | 1 member LLC: 1 owner. 2 or more members LLC: From 2 to 50 members. | Minimum 3 shareholders, no maximum limit. |
| Property liability | Limited to capital contribution. | Limited to the number of shares owned. |
| Organizational structure | Simpler (Board of Members, Chairman, Director). | More complex (Shareholders' Meeting, Board of Directors, Supervisory Board). |
| Ability to raise capital | Restrictions. No shares may be issued. Capital may only be increased by additional contributions from members or by admitting new members. | Very flexible. Authorized to issue stocks and bonds to raise capital widely from the public and investors. |
| Transfer of capital/shares | Restricted. Must be offered to existing members first before transferring to outsiders. | Free transfer (except for some restrictions for founding shareholders in the first 3 years). |
| What size is it suitable for? | Small and medium enterprises, family businesses, members know and trust each other. | Large-scale enterprises that need to raise a lot of capital, public companies, and startups with vision calling for investment capital. |
This is a step-by-step guide, decoding the entire business registration process from preparation, drafting documents, submitting to the authorities until you officially hold the license and seal in your hand, ready to start operating.
This is the foundational stage, determining the speed and smoothness of the entire process. Complete and accurate preparation will help you avoid having to supplement and modify documents many times.
Checklist of information to prepare:
Company name: Prepare 2-3 name options to check in advance, to avoid duplication. The name must include the type of business (LLC or JSC) and the proper name.
Head office address: Clear, legal address and not an apartment building used for residence.
Business lines: List all expected business lines and look up the corresponding level 4 industry code according to the law.
Charter capital: Determine the amount of charter capital to be registered. If the business requires statutory capital, the charter capital must be equal to or higher than the statutory capital.
Legal representative information: Full name, title, date of birth, ID card/CCCD/Passport number, permanent address and contact address.
Information on founding members/shareholders: List, personal information and capital contribution ratio/number of shares of each person.
Personal profile checklist:
Notarized copies of valid (not more than 6 months) ID cards/CCCDs/Passports of all members, founding shareholders and legal representatives.
Once you have all the information, you will prepare a legal dossier to submit to the business registration authority. The standard dossier includes the following documents:
Business registration application: According to the form prescribed in Circular 01/2021/TT-BKHĐT.
Articles of Association: This is the company's "constitution", which stipulates the organization, management, operations, rights and obligations of members/shareholders. The charter must be signed by all founding members/shareholders.
List of members: For LLCs with 2 or more members.
List of founding shareholders: For joint stock companies.
Other documents (if any): Authorization letter for the person submitting the application (if not the legal representative), Investment registration certificate (for foreign investors).
You can choose one of the following two forms of application:
Submit application online: Through the National Business Registration Portal. This method requires the applicant to have a business registration account or a public digital signature. This is the recommended method because of its convenience and speed.
Submit application directly: At the one-stop department of the Business Registration Office - Department of Planning and Investment of the province/city where the company's headquarters is located.
The prescribed processing time for the application is 3 working days from the date of receipt of a valid application. During this time, you need to monitor the application processing status on the National Information Portal. If the application requires amendments or additions, you need to quickly complete and resubmit according to the specialist's instructions.
If the application is valid, the Business Registration Office will issue a Business Registration Certificate (BCC). This is a legal document confirming the establishment of your company.
After obtaining the Business Registration Certificate, you proceed to engrave the company's legal seal (round seal). According to current law, enterprises are free to decide on the form, quantity and content of the seal, but must ensure that it includes the name and business code.
This is the final mandatory procedure in the establishment process. Within 30 days from the date of issuance of the Business Registration Certificate, the enterprise must publicly announce the registration information on the National Business Registration Information Portal. This procedure is performed online and requires payment of fees as prescribed.
This section provides a comprehensive and transparent financial picture, breaking down all fees from mandatory government fees, consulting service costs, to necessary investments after establishment, helping you accurately budget.
These are fixed fees that any business must pay to state agencies when established.
Business registration application fee: Currently, the fee is 50,000 VND/time when submitting the application directly. If registering online, the business will be exempted from this fee.
Business information publication fee: 100,000 VND/time, paid when performing the procedure of publishing business registration content.
Business license fee: This is a type of tax that businesses must pay annually. The amount paid depends on the registered charter capital:
Charter capital over 10 billion VND: 3,000,000 VND/year.
Charter capital from 10 billion VND or less: 2,000,000 VND/year.
Branches, representative offices: 1,000,000 VND/year.
Note: Newly established businesses are exempt from business license fees during the first year of operation.

In addition to the above costs, for the business to officially start operating, you need to budget for some other initial investments:
Cost of purchasing Digital Signature (Token): Required to perform electronic transactions such as tax payment, customs declaration, social insurance. Cost ranges from 1,000,000 - 3,000,000 VND depending on the supplier and duration of use.

Cost of placing a company sign: It is mandatory to hang a sign at the head office, clearly stating the company name and tax code.
Office rental and equipment purchase costs: Depends on the size and actual needs of the business.
Cost of accounting services: Businesses can hire an accountant or use an external accounting service to ensure compliance with tax and accounting regulations.
Getting licensed is just the beginning. This section outlines the mandatory next steps, from banking and taxes to digitizing transactions, to ensure your business runs legally and smoothly from day one.
This is the first and most important thing to do. All financial transactions of the company, especially capital contributions and transactions with large values, must be carried out through the company's bank account.
After successfully opening an account, the enterprise is obliged to carry out the procedure of notifying the bank account number to the Business Registration Office through the National Business Registration Information Portal. This procedure is to ensure transparency in the financial transactions of the enterprise.
Digital signature is considered as the "electronic seal" of the enterprise in the digital environment. This is a mandatory tool to perform most public administrative procedures online.
What is a digital signature and why is it required? A digital signature is an encrypted device or solution that contains business data and has the same legal value as a representative's handwritten signature and company seal. It is required for filing tax returns, paying taxes electronically, declaring social insurance, customs and signing electronic contracts.
Types of digital signatures: There are currently two popular types. USB Token digital signature is a type of hardware device that plugs into the computer, with high security because the secret key is kept in the user's device. Remote digital signature (Remote Signature or SmartCA) is a newer technology that does not require a USB Token, allowing digital signatures anytime, anywhere on mobile devices through authentication on the application, providing superior convenience and flexibility.
Registration procedure: To register for a digital signature, the enterprise needs to provide a copy of the Business Registration Certificate and the ID card/CCCD of the legal representative to the service provider.
Choosing a provider: The market has many reputable providers such as Viettel-CA, VNPT-CA, FPT-CA, BKAV-CA, NewCA, Vina-CA... Each provider has different packages and support policies, creating a complex choice matrix for newbies. Choosing the wrong one or encountering common technical errors such as the computer not accepting tokens, plugin errors can cause disruptions in operations.
Business license tax is the first tax obligation that a new business must fulfill.
Enterprises must submit the Business License Fee Declaration to the tax authority directly in charge. The deadline for submitting the declaration is January 30 of the year following the year of establishment. However, to complete the initial procedures, enterprises should do so immediately after obtaining a digital signature. The submission of declarations and tax payments are all done online via the General Department of Taxation's Information Portal and must use a digital signature for authentication.
According to current regulations, 100% of businesses must use electronic invoices when selling goods and providing services.
Enterprises need to choose an e-invoice service provider, then register to use e-invoices with the tax authority. The invoice form and issuance notice must also be sent to the tax authority online. This entire process requires authentication with the enterprise's digital signature. Completing this procedure is a prerequisite for enterprises to be able to issue invoices and record revenue legally.

The time to receive the Certificate of Business Registration as prescribed is 3-5 working days from the date of submission of valid documents. However, to complete all post-establishment procedures (seal carving, announcement, account opening, digital signature registration, electronic invoice...), the total time may last from 7-10 working days.
For most common business sectors, the law does not prescribe a minimum charter capital. Enterprises can register their own capital level in accordance with their scale and business plan. You do not need to prove this capital at the time of registration, but members/shareholders are obliged to contribute the full committed capital within 90 days. Only some specific sectors (such as real estate business, financial services, security...) require legal capital (minimum capital required).
According to the Law on Anti-Corruption and the Law on Cadres, Civil Servants and Public Employees, these subjects are not allowed to establish and manage enterprises. This means that they cannot hold management positions such as Director, General Director, or legal representative. However, they still have the right to contribute capital and buy shares to become members of a limited liability company or shareholders of a joint stock company, as long as they do not directly participate in management and operations.
Yes. An individual can simultaneously be the owner, member, or shareholder of multiple LLCs and joint stock companies. They can also be the legal representative of multiple companies. However, the law stipulates that each individual is only allowed to establish one private enterprise.
