Advantages of operating in the Vietnamese market

Vietnam demonstrates steady economic growth, especially in the manufacturing, technology, agriculture, and retail sectors

With the growth of the middle class, demand for a variety of goods and services is increasing, making Vietnam attractive for international companies

Vietnam aims for long-term political stability and is open to foreign investments. This reduces risks and makes it more attractive for business compared to many other markets

Key information for registering a business in Vietnam

Foreign ownership

Although some industries still require foreigners to form joint ventures with Vietnamese partners, in most sectors full foreign ownership is now permitted.

Minimum share capital

While Vietnam has no official charter capital requirement, investors are generally expected to contribute at least USD 10,000 — or up to USD 100,000 for local sales.

Requirement for a local director

Foreign entrepreneurs starting a business in Vietnam are required to appoint a local director (referred to in Vietnam as the company’s legal representative).

The value of Vietnam market entry consulting services

  • understand the legal and regulatory requirements necessary for operating in the country.
  • analyze consumer preferences and behavior to adapt products or services in line with local audience expectations.

Vietnam market entry consulting helps companies:

  • identify market niches and new opportunities that can serve as growth drivers for your business.
  • develop a detailed business plan and market entry strategy to minimize financial risks and avoid early-stage mistakes.
  • assess the required investment volume for launching and operating the business successfully.
  • set competitive pricing, taking into account target audience income levels, market conditions, and industry specifics.

Challenges of doing business in Vietnam

  • The need to adapt marketing materials to local linguistic and cultural characteristics.
  • The market is becoming increasingly competitive. Companies need to effectively differentiate their offerings to stand out.
  • Significant differences in internet access still exist in Vietnam. This requires tailored marketing approaches that consider digital literacy and accessibility.
  • Local companies may have a deeper understanding of the market and cultural nuances, giving them an advantage.
  • Building brand awareness in Vietnam can take a long time and requires a detailed strategy that accounts for the unique characteristics of the Vietnamese market.
  • The main factor determining pricing policy in the Vietnamese market is the low per capita income. Most purchasing decisions are heavily price-dependent.
  • Advertising in Vietnam remains under strict government control. Promoting pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products requires registration and approval by the relevant ministries.
  • With low GDP growth, it becomes increasingly difficult to acquire new customers solely through traditional sales methods based on personal connections.

To address the unique characteristics of the Vietnamese market, effective market entry consulting is essential. We provide the data and strategic direction needed for a confident entry and sustainable business development.

Igor Lokhmakov

Co-founder, SunPay

Between 2019 and 2021, we worked with Indeso on three financial-sector projects: securing a license for a financial company in Hong Kong, obtaining a banking license in Saint Kitts and Nevis, and updating internal company documents to meet Canadian regulatory standards. Although we had hands-on experience in running similar businesses, we preferred not to get involved in the bureaucratic process of document preparation, submission, and regulatory communications.

Olga Mazure

Licensing Specialist

Eagle BNX Limited approached Indeso to develop internal procedures for the company, preparing to submit documents for a European payment license. The documents were fully compliant with regulatory requirements and delivered on time, without delays. Working with Tatyana was a true pleasure — communication was effortless, tasks were easily understood, and responses were fast and efficient. This isn’t our first project with Indeso, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.

Aislu Babakanova

Head of start-up department

Siberian Wellness Corporation operates in 65 countries worldwide, and marketing research in target countries is a key part of our strategic planning. We have been partnering with Indeso for several years on multiple key markets. Southeast Asia is strategically important to us, and we have received detailed market studies from Indeso on Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This information helped us identify priority markets, select one, and start operations in a SEA country.
Currently, we are relaunching our business in India, and Indeso provided thorough insights on critical factors for market entry, such as business model, entry strategy, and more. In South Korea, we have a long-standing collaboration with Indeso on audience segment research, hypothesis validation, and competitor comparisons across several product categories. Several other markets are also under discussion.
I would like to sincerely thank the entire Indeso team for their effective collaboration and the consistently high-quality materials that meet our requirements.
