Branch & Office Registration
Choose and register an appropriate expansion presence. The working scope is confirmed only after reviewing the circumstances, available records and current requirements.
What you receive
- 01
Form selection: branch, representative office or business location — The three are not interchangeable. A branch may trade and carries its own tax obligations; a representative office may not trade; a business location is the lightest form but is limited in what it can do. We match the form to what you actually intend to operate.
- 02
Application drafted and filed — Establishment application, appointment of the person in charge and the supporting corporate resolutions, filed with the competent authority.
- 03
Tax registration for the new unit — The dependent unit's tax registration completed and its declaration obligations set up — a branch that trades without its own tax set-up creates a problem that surfaces at the next inspection.
- 04
Cross-province considerations — Where the new unit sits in a different province, we set out the licence, tax and reporting consequences that differ from a same-province expansion.
- 05
Written handover and compliance calendar — The establishment certificate, the resolution set, and the filing calendar for the new unit from its first month.
Delivery routes
Choose the level of support that fits your capacity, timing and desired control. Each party's role is confirmed before work begins.
Route A — You act, we guide
You keep control of execution. LotusGuard provides the costed roadmap, working notes and review checkpoints.
Route B — We execute under mandate
LotusGuard coordinates and files the agreed work within the authority and scope set out in writing.
Route C — Independent third-party QC
When a specialist provider is required, LotusGuard vets the provider and supervises delivery for a disclosed management fee.
Timing and quote
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
LotusGuard provides procedural advisory and files your dossier under a power of attorney. The decision to grant, refuse or revoke rests solely with the competent Vietnamese authority; we do not sponsor applicants and we do not promise an outcome. Your original passport stays with you — we work from certified copies wherever the law allows. Government fees, official charges, translation and consular legalisation are payable by the client at cost, at the published rate.
