Vietnam is a high-opportunity market and a high-friction one. We are the local team that removes the friction, and the one that stays accountable for the operation afterwards.
Who this is for
Companies entering Vietnam, businesses moving manufacturing or engineering here, and companies already on the ground whose project has stalled.
Entity structure selection, conditional business lines, incorporation, tax registration, bank account opening, and a contracting package standardised for Vietnamese counterparties.
Standing up a Vietnamese engineering or software team: role architecture and levelling, salary banding against the real local market, sourcing and screening, employer-of-record or direct-entity options, onboarding, and the retention plan that stops you rebuilding it in eighteen months.
Access to Vietnamese suppliers and manufacturers across construction materials, furniture, fit-out, equipment and project inputs. Screened, visited, and checked against the standards your market requires.
We build the entry plan and handle the setup, from the entity through to first revenue.
We secure the site, the suppliers, the approvals and the people.
We find them, run diligence, negotiate, and structure the partnership so the commercial terms survive delivery.
We find the bottleneck, clear it, and get the project moving again.
What we handle
You focus on the product and the customers. We run the local operation.
Your step-by-step launch plan: what to do, in what order, and why it matters. We map the critical path, the dependencies and the fastest route to operating without cutting corners.
IncludesTimeline, decision points, key risks, and the list of things not to do in Vietnam.
No random introductions. A curated shortlist of partners, sites and suppliers that fit your goals. We filter out the noise and keep only the options that can execute.
IncludesPartner, site and supplier shortlist with comparison notes and a recommended next step.
Everything needed to move from plan to action. We turn the strategy into a checklist that keeps the setup compliant, coordinated and on schedule.
IncludesSetup checklist, approvals pathway, operating rhythm, stakeholder map and a week-by-week action plan.
Manufacturing · South Africa to Vietnam
Initial preparation completed
A small first group of products to test whether Vietnam meets the material and quality requirements at a competitive delivered cost. Existing factories are screened before any dedicated facility is considered, and the home operation keeps product development.
Pacific to Vietnam
Costed expansion plan
A three-stage relationship for a Pacific wellness brand. Stage one delivers a decision-ready Vietnam expansion plan: product priority, regulatory classification and dossier gaps, route and partners, the full expansion budget under three launch scenarios, and the capital pathway. Stages two and three cover financing and local execution and each need separate approval.
