How Much Does It Cost to Set Up a Company in Vietnam

RedTab's execution fee for standard, non-conditional-sector company setup runs $1,650 – $4,000 per entity. Conditional-sector setups (retail, F&B, education, and similar activities needing an extra license) run $3,400 – $22,000 — a wider range because these cases vary far more in complexity.

Overview

Two Different Price Bands, Depending on Sector

"Cost to set up a company in Vietnam" isn't one number — it splits mainly on whether the business activity is conditional (needs a sector license on top of company registration) or not. These are RedTab's own market-benchmark execution-fee ranges, the same ones published on /pricing, not a final quote.

Scope

What's Not Included

  • government fees, charged separately at cost
  • notarization/legalization of foreign documents, charged separately at cost
  • first-year audit, charged separately at cost

These ranges cover RedTab's coordination and execution work — not statutory government filing fees, which are set separately and are typically small relative to the execution fee. A document and case review confirms the actual scope and final quote for your specific setup.
