FAQs
Yes, in most sectors CNC has successfully helped foreign investors obtain 100% foreign-owned company licenses. Some conditional sectors (e.g., logistics, real estate, advertising) may require Vietnamese partners or additional approvals, which we handle through early licensing strategy and regulator engagement.
Not in every case. Depending on ownership ratio, business lines and entry mode (new company vs. capital contribution/share purchase), licensing routes differ.
Depending on your business sector and whether foreign investment approval is required, incorporation usually takes 20–30 working days. CNC monitors the entire process, communicates directly with the licensing authorities, and provides real-time updates so clients can plan operations with certainty..
-
Legalized corporate documents (for entities) or notarized passports (for individuals).
-
Proposed company charter and business plan.
-
Lease agreement for the registered office.
-
CNC drafts all Vietnamese-language forms, arranges notarization and translation, and guides you through each legalization step.
Vietnam’s licensing procedures often involve multiple agencies and subtle procedural differences between provinces. CNC’s team of dedicated corporate lawyers ensures each application meets both statutory and practical requirements – saving time, avoiding rejections, and ensuring your company can operate smoothly from day one.
Our service fees depend on the investment structure and number of licenses required. For a typical 100% foreign-owned LLC, the total cost – including government fees – ranges from USD 1,200 to 2,500. CNC always provides a transparent quotation and timeline before engagement.
Typical challenges include:
-
Choosing the right business line under Vietnam’s CPC codes.
-
Interpreting sectoral restrictions on foreign ownership.
-
Delays due to inconsistent local practices.
CNC overcomes these through pre-consultation with authorities and extensive experience across provinces like Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Binh Duong.
