LEGAL & INVESTMENT ADVISORY • VIETNAM MARKET ENTRY • CORPORATES • FDI
Starting or expanding in Vietnam involves more than registering a company.
The right structure depends on what you are trying to achieve, who is investing, what your business does, and how you plan to operate in Vietnam. Depending on your situation, you may need to consider:
— How to structure your investment
— Whether to establish a new company or acquire an existing one
— Capital and ownership arrangements
— Investment and business registration requirements
— Relevant licenses or regulatory requirements
— Property or operational needs
— Ongoing legal and corporate compliance
The challenge is not simply knowing which procedure to file. It is knowing which path makes sense for your business.

Legal advice that starts with the business decision.
Entering or expanding in Vietnam is a business decision as much as it is a legal process. Chilli combines legal, investment, and corporate advisory perspectives to help clients understand not only what needs to be done, but why a particular route may make sense for their situation.

We start with your objective and circumstances before mapping the relevant legal procedures.

Cross-Functional Advisory
Corporate, investment, immigration, and regulatory matters overlap. We help identify where different areas of your business may connect.
03
Practical Execution
Our role is not limited to explaining requirements. We support relevant procedures and documentation to move your plans forward.
