Answers to common questions. If you can't find yours, our advisors are one message away.
Why set up a company instead of trading as a household business?
The State offers many incentives that encourage the move from household business to enterprise. To enter the market professionally, incorporation is the first step. A company gives you:
- A legal entity to transact and sign contracts, which builds trust with partners
- The ability to issue VAT invoices — essential for every business
- Access to loans and State incentives when you expand
- More professional, scalable brand marketing
- Easier recruitment
Which type of company should I register?
Vietnam has five enterprise types: single-member LLC, multi-member LLC, joint-stock company, private enterprise and partnership.
Most owners choose between an LLC and a joint-stock company. In both, members or shareholders are liable only up to the capital they contributed, and the company is a separate legal entity.
The difference: an LLC caps the number of members, while a joint-stock company has no cap and can raise capital and transfer ownership through shares.
What do I need to obtain a business registration certificate?
- A valid company name that doesn't duplicate or infringe existing names
- A registered business address (leased premises and shared offices have specific rules)
- Business lines — including whether any are conditional
- Charter capital and contributing members
- Members' ID cards or passports, notarised within 3 months
LevelMax advises on each point and handles the full filing and liaison with the authorities for you.
Which taxes must a company pay after incorporation?
Once operating, a company must declare and pay, as applicable: business licence fee, VAT, corporate income tax, personal income tax, special consumption tax, import/export duties, foreign contractor tax and others.
It must also file tax returns and financial statements as required by law. Our tax & accounting practice can manage this for you.
How long does incorporation take?
A business registration certificate is typically issued within 7 days. Conditional business lines may take longer.
Can I incorporate now and start trading later?
Yes. However, tax returns and financial statements must still be filed even before trading begins — many owners overlook this and are fined by the tax authority.
