CoPLUS stands beside foreign founders through every decision, from first idea to long-term governance. One partner who stays with you.
10 years. 200+ businesses. Founders from Norway to Hong Kong to Finland — and counting.
A UK-based tech company was turned away from another province because their business model was considered too unconventional. CoPLUS guided them to a successful setup in Hue, and they have operated stably for five straight years since.
Businesses face the same fundamental challenges — whether the founder is relocating personally, building a remote team across borders, or entering Vietnam as a new market.
Setting up in Vietnam is genuinely possible — thousands of foreign founders have done it successfully. But every market has its own logic, and Vietnam is no different. Those who have navigated it will tell you: local knowledge makes the difference between a smooth journey and an unnecessarily long one.
The regulations exist, but applying them to your specific business model requires more than a document search — context matters as much as the rules themselves. Every province has its own rhythm, its own points of contact, and its own way of working. And timelines, while generally predictable, can shift for reasons that aren't always immediately visible from the outside.
CoPLUS follows your file continuously through each stage, not as separate, disconnected services.
Before you commit to setting up, we assess your business model in depth — legal structure, sector licensing, local requirements, and the risks specific to your case. You receive a clear report: whether to proceed, which structure fits, and what to watch out for. This is the full advisory scan, not a preliminary check — valuable whether you move forward or not.
So you make the decision to proceed — or not — with a clear head, not a guess.
For founders ready to move. We work through every step methodically:
Completed CP-01? The Basic Scan is already done — we move straight to the checklist.
You focus on the business. We make sure the paperwork never becomes the obstacle.
Your monthly compliance control layer — authorization on the organization’s VNeID account, statutory reporting, deadline tracking, liaison with local authorities, and work permit or visa support as your team grows.
Accounting and tax compliance are handled by our strategic services partners — specialist firms we work closely with to keep your financial obligations current and correctly filed.
Lite, Standard, or Pro, depending on how much of that you need.
One point of contact. Everything coordinated. You stay focused on growth — we stay focused on keeping you compliant.
A standing line to a senior second opinion — for the decisions that matter and the ones you didn’t see coming.
Founder Desk begins with an onboarding period of up to 3 months while we build your Founder File and establish the rhythm of the relationship. Touchpoints are more frequent during this phase as we get up to speed on your business, structure, and priorities. This period is billed monthly.
Once onboarding is complete, we move to a package arrangement that fits your ongoing needs — the format and cadence agreed based on how you actually work.
Not paperwork. A senior, straight-talking second opinion, backed by the information you need, to help you decide with more confidence.
Every case differs, but most founders go from first conversation to a fully operating company in three to five weeks. This is the typical shape of it.
Solid lines show the typical case; faded extensions the upper range. Ranges are tentative: actual timing depends on your business model, sector licensing, and how quickly documents arrive.
Combined expertise across law, operations, and business development.

Most founders first touch down in Ho Chi Minh City or Danang before scoping where to invest. CoPLUS meets you at the start of that journey.
