Set up a Foreign-Owned Company in Vietnam

Vietnam’s strong prospective growth has made it an ideal place for prospective investors to launch their commercial operations, particularly amidst the ongoing trade shifts resulting from the US-China trade war. The country’s extensive network of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) further enhances its appeal by providing businesses with preferential access to key global markets.
