Vietnam market entry & incorporation
Enter Vietnam with a structure built to operate.
Q Commerce supports foreign investors from the initial market-entry decision through company establishment, licensing and operational readiness. Every engagement starts with the business model—not a pre-set legal structure.

Regulated activities require a separate assessment.
For fintech and payment-related projects, Q Commerce can assess establishment and licensing pathways, coordinate application readiness and involve specialist legal or technical advisers where required. Scope and feasibility are confirmed only after reviewing the proposed service model.
Ownership and governance are considered transparently.
Ownership, governance and local-representation structures are assessed subject to beneficial-ownership disclosure, investment restrictions, regulatory requirements and case-specific review.
Typical establishment timeframe
2–2.5 months
A practical planning range for a standard FDI establishment.
The timeframe begins when complete and properly prepared documents are available. Ownership, proposed activities, legalisation requirements and authority processing can affect the schedule.
Additional and sector-specific licences follow separate timelines. Approval decisions and official processing periods remain with the relevant authorities.
Specialist support
One coordinated engagement, with responsibilities made clear.
Q Commerce directly supports establishment, registration and licensing. Where regulated specialist work is required, we coordinate the right professional input and confirm the delivery structure before work begins.
Accounting setup and ongoing accounting
Payroll processing
Ongoing tax compliance
Statutory audit
Specific legal opinions or representation
