Market Entry Strategy
Assess entry, ownership, operations and specialist dependencies. The working scope is confirmed only after reviewing the circumstances, available records and current requirements.
What you receive
- 01
Recommended structure and investor route — Determining whether your sector permits 100% foreign ownership or requires local partnerships, maximising your capital security.
- 02
Sector conditionality check — The definitive legal determination on whether your intended business line sits on Vietnam's conditional list.
- 03
Step-by-step licensing path — Each stage mapped with the issuing authority, statutory processing time and official fee — to eliminate launch-date assumptions.
- 04
Sector-specific compliance risk — Uncovering operational approvals that block openings, such as fire safety certification.
- 05
Market snapshot and introductions — Your competitive gap analysis, plus introductions to strictly audited third-party vendors.
- 06
Capital and banking structure — The charter capital level your licence path requires, how investment capital must lawfully enter Vietnam, and the account structure that keeps it compliant — the point at which under-capitalised entries most often fail.
- 07
Investor residence outlook — Which investor visa and residence card band your intended capital places you in, so your personal status is designed at the same time as the entity, not bolted on afterwards.

When a specialist provider is required, LotusGuard vets the provider and supervises delivery for a disclosed management fee.

Fees are fixed against the scope stated in the quote and applied consistently. The quote identifies included work, exclusions, assumptions and any pass-through costs.
Legal notice
This is an independent advisory deliverable — not a legal opinion issued by a licensed law practice, and not a guarantee of any administrative outcome. Every legal finding is reviewed by our in-house Chief Legal Officer before release. We take zero commission from any third party named in the report.
