📝 Starting a business isn’t just paperwork – it’s a legal journey that defines your success 📝
If you’re planning to launch a business in Vietnam, you must first navigate a range of legal requirements. From choosing the right business entity to finalizing tax registrations, each step plays a critical role in determining your company’s legitimacy and long-term growth.
Let’s explore the complete legal framework and how DHH Law Firm can help you simplify the process
1. LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR BUSINESS FORMATION IN VIETNAM
To ensure your company is legally recognized, you must comply with core regulations outlined in:
📌 Law on Enterprises 2020
📌 Law on Investment 2020
📌 Decree No. 01/2021/ND-CP on business registration
📌 Additional circulars on taxation, labor, accounting, seals, and public disclosures.
Understanding these regulations is vital, especially if you seek company registration services in Vietnam tailored to your business type and industry.
2. KEY LEGAL ISSUES TO ADDRESS BEFORE ESTABLISHING A BUSINESS
When forming a company, even small errors can cause major delays or legal issues. Avoid common pitfalls by paying attention to:
✅ Choosing the Right Business Structure
Select between a Limited Liability Company (LLC), a Joint Stock Company (JSC), or a Sole Proprietorship depending on your business goals, capital, and liability considerations.
✅ Naming Your Business
Ensure your company name complies with Vietnamese law – no duplication, no confusion, and culturally appropriate.
✅ Drafting a Legally-Sound Charter
The charter is the core component of the company formation dossier. It must clearly define organizational structure, rights and obligations, and decision-making mechanisms to avoid internal disputes later.
✅ Preparing Accurate ocumentation
Ensure your business formation dossier is complete and correctly formatted to avoid rejection by registration authorities.
✅ Completing Post-Registration
Don’t overlook essential steps like:
- Tax code registration
- Corporate bank account setup
- Seal creation
- Public enterprise announcement
- Office signage
These tasks are often bundled into full-service business registration packages offered by legal consultants.
