Reliable Foreign-Invested Enterprise Establishment Services
VPL – THE SMART CHOICE FOR INVESTORS
Today, the preferential policies for foreign individuals and organizations participating in enterprise establishment in Vietnam are attracting many investors. However, establishing a foreign-invested enterprise can be challenging for those involved due to complicated procedures and numerous legal regulations.
Understanding the needs of clients, Van Phuc Law provides foreign-invested enterprise establishment services to assist clients in completing business registration procedures quickly and concisely, minimizing legal risks.
Common difficulties when establishing a foreign-invested enterprise
Establishing a foreign-invested enterprise can present more challenges than setting up a domestic enterprise. So, what are the common issues investors face?
1/ Understanding legal regulations
Understanding the legal regulations regarding commitments under the WTO and Vietnamese legal documents before registering a foreign-invested enterprise can be difficult due to gaps in the legal system, with overlapping and conflicting documents causing confusion for those researching the process.
2/ Choosing business lines
Choosing a business line is limited due to the fact that many business fields are available abroad but not yet in Vietnam. According to the law, investors must use the appropriate business line code from the national classification system. If they cannot determine the correct code, they cannot register the enterprise.
3/ Complicated procedures
The procedures involve multiple steps, making it difficult for first-time enterprise founders to navigate the licensing and operational processes for investment projects in Vietnam. For projects that require land leasing or allocation from the government, investors must submit a proposal to request land allocation, and must obtain an investment certificate before applying for enterprise establishment permits.
4/ Time-consuming and costly
Investors must prepare a detailed investment project proposal, including objectives, scale, capital, funding methods, location, duration, and schedule, etc., in order to get approval from relevant authorities. Failure to anticipate the steps before, during, and after the project can lead to significant time and financial costs for the investor.
