Build, operate and grow in Vietnam with confidence.
A practical advisory platform for foreign investors entering Vietnam or strengthening an existing operation. Investment entry, accounting, tax, transfer pricing, audit, IFRS, M&A and valuation in one coordinated workplan.
Vietnam is an opportunity. Execution is the differentiator.
LT Group supports foreign investors across the lifecycle, from feasibility and licensing to compliant operations, group reporting and transactions.
FDI scope: manufacturing, trading, technology, services and other permitted sectors.
What investors need to decide early
The first decision is not simply “where is the cheapest site?” It is whether the project can be licensed, staffed, funded, reported and operated with an acceptable total cost and risk profile.
Market access
Check foreign ownership, conditional sectors, licences, origin rules and customer-market requirements before committing to a structure.
Location economics
Compare Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Hai Phong, Hanoi, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Ho Chi Minh City and other locations against utilities, labour, logistics and expansion capacity.
Reporting confidence
Design VAS–IFRS mapping, tax controls, transfer pricing, audit evidence, ESG ownership and HQ reporting before the first year-end.
How to set up: investor checklist
Use this sequence as a working checklist. LT Group can turn it into a project tracker with owners, documents, dependencies and decision dates.
Screen
Product, sector, capital, customers and site.
Check FOL
Ownership limits, licences and conditions.
Structure
Newco, acquisition, branch or contribution.
License
IRC/ERC and project approvals.
Secure site
Park, land, utilities, fire and environment.
Launch
Banking, capital, people, payroll and systems.
Comply
Tax, books, TP, customs and audit.
Documents to assemble
Parent-company profile, financial capacity, passport/registration documents, proposed activities, capital plan, site evidence, lease or MOU, technical explanation and projected financials.
First 90-day operating checklist
Bank accounts, e-invoices, accounting software, payroll, tax calendar, contracts, approval matrix, chart of accounts, related-party register, internal controls and reporting timetable.
Common pain points and LT Group response
Each concern is connected to a defined workstream rather than a generic promise.
Slow or unclear procedures
Document matrix, responsibility schedule, decision log and qualified licensing coordination.
Transfer pricing and FCT
Map cross-border payments, review contracts, identify FCT exposure and prepare documentation controls.
VAS versus IFRS
Chart-of-accounts bridge, close calendar, group package and audit-ready evidence.
FOL and investment incentives
Early eligibility screen for sector, scale, location and conditions; no incentive is promised before verification.
ESG and internal controls
Assign data owners, evidence standards, control testing and escalation to specialists when required.
Labour, FX and cost pressure
Include payroll, statutory costs, currency exposure and approval controls in the operating model.
Illustrative case studies
These are anonymised scenarios for education and service mapping. Client names, logos, figures and outcomes require confirmation and permission before publication.
China +1 manufacturer
Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Binh Duong or Dong Nai.
Compare industrial parks, supplier access, capital structure, parent charges, FCT and VAS–IFRS. LT Group prepares a screening model, document checklist and implementation roadmap.
Timeline, cost saving or risk avoided only after client confirmation.
International group reporting to HQ
Vietnam entity needs a stronger close process.
Close statutory-to-group reporting gaps, organise ESG evidence, strengthen controls and coordinate Local File/Master File and audit readiness.
Fewer audit adjustments, faster close or improved evidence completeness.
FDI expansion or M&A
Management needs an informed transaction decision.
Coordinate valuation, financial and tax review, integration controls, post-deal accounting and ongoing compliance.
Transaction result and quantified benefit with permission.
Cross-border group readiness
A Vietnam entity must work locally while giving headquarters confidence. LT Group connects statutory compliance, management reporting and transaction decisions in one operating rhythm.
Before entry
Confirm market access, foreign ownership, licences, location conditions, capital assumptions and implementation dependencies before committing to a structure.
Compare total cost and operating capacity across industrial locations, including labour, utilities, logistics, suppliers and expansion options.
Tax and reporting discipline
Identify Foreign Contractor Tax, related-party and transfer-pricing implications before signing material technology, management, procurement, financing or contractor agreements.
Build the Vietnam VAS close process together with an IFRS or group-reporting bridge, audit evidence, ESG data ownership and a clear HQ timetable.
