Business Compliance & Operations Advisory for Foreign-Owned Companies in Vietnam
Registration is the start, not the finish. Once your entity is live it carries ongoing regulatory and administrative responsibilities, and what applies to you depends on your licence, your business lines and your size. IBC advises foreign-owned companies on what those responsibilities are, when they fall due, and how to organise the business to meet them.
Know what your company is responsible for, and when
Every registered company in Vietnam carries continuing obligations to the authorities. Which ones apply, and how often, depends on your licence, the business lines on your ERC, your headcount and your level of activity — and that is rarely obvious from outside the country.
IBC works alongside your team as an advisory partner:
- A clear map of the obligations attached to your entity, with the deadlines that come with them.
- Guidance on the records and documentation Vietnamese authorities expect you to maintain.
- Advice on internal financial processes and controls as your operations grow.
- Support preparing for, and responding to, correspondence from the relevant authorities.
- Management information structured so an overseas head office can actually read it.
Because we work almost entirely with foreign-owned companies, we are used to the extra layer: explaining a local requirement to a parent company that has never operated here, coordinating with your auditors, and setting out what an obligation actually means in practice rather than quoting the regulation at you.
Why choose IBC
Most providers either handle a narrow slice of the work or explain nothing. IBC sits between your business and the local requirements: one bilingual team in Ho Chi Minh City that already knows your entity from formation, so you are not re-explaining your structure every time something comes up. We tell you what applies, what it costs you in time and attention, and what you can safely leave alone.
Not sure what your company is required to do?
Tell us your licence type, business lines and headcount. We will map what applies to your entity and where the deadlines fall, in writing.
