What Clients Have Shared
"Registering a limited liability company in District 1 felt daunting at first — particularly because I was unfamiliar with the documentation requirements. The advisor walked me through every step with genuine clarity. I understood what I was signing and why. The timeline we agreed was accurate to the week."

"I needed a distribution agreement reviewed before signing — the other party's version contained clauses that were vague in ways I couldn't fully articulate. Công Minh annotated the document clearly, explained each concern, and helped us produce a revised version that both parties were satisfied with. The two revision rounds were genuinely useful."

"As an Australian managing a joint venture in Ho Chi Minh City, I needed advisors who could work in English and help us develop internal compliance documentation. The governance advisory engagement was thorough — monthly briefings were concise and actionable, and the final governance manual has become a reference document for our team."

Operations Director, Australian JV · HCMC

"I came to Công Minh after a bad experience elsewhere — a previous advisor had given us registration guidance that turned out to be incomplete, and we faced delays and additional costs. The team here was meticulous. They caught issues before submission and handled the corrections efficiently. I wish I had found them first."

"We engaged Công Minh ahead of a Series A funding round to review our governance structures and prepare compliance documentation for investor due diligence. The advisory team understood the stakes and the timeline. Their governance manual gave investors a clear picture of how we operate."

"The employment contract review was exactly what I needed before hiring our first team members. The annotations were practical — not just descriptions of clauses but clear explanations of what each clause meant in practice. Response times throughout were reliably within one business day."

In Detail
Client Engagements
Foreign-Invested Enterprise Registration
Business Registration Advisory · 4 weeks
Challenge
A Singapore-based trading company wanted to establish a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in HCMC. Their team had limited familiarity with Vietnamese registration requirements, and previous informal guidance from a non-specialist had created conflicting expectations about entity structure and licensing needs.
Solution
Công Minh began with a scope consultation to establish the correct entity type and licensing pathway. A documentation checklist was delivered within three days. The team managed the submission process and liaised with the relevant authorities on the client's behalf throughout the registration period.
Outcome
Registration completed in 4 weeks. The client received a post-registration compliance overview covering reporting timelines, tax registration steps, and recurring legal obligations. The Singapore team reported significantly higher confidence about their operating obligations in Vietnam.
"We had been receiving conflicting information for months. Công Minh gave us a clear picture in our first consultation and maintained that clarity throughout."
— Country Manager, Singapore trading company
Commercial Distribution Agreement
Contract Review & Drafting · 3 weeks
Challenge
A Vietnamese consumer goods brand was entering a distribution arrangement with a regional retail partner. The draft agreement received from the partner contained clauses on liability, exclusivity, and termination that the client found ambiguous and potentially unfavourable. They needed a review before any negotiations could proceed.
Solution
The full agreement was reviewed and annotated clause by clause. Công Minh identified six areas of material concern and produced a marked-up version with suggested revisions and clear explanations of each recommendation. The client used this as the basis for counter-proposals in negotiations with their partner.
Outcome
Five of six revisions were accepted by the distribution partner. The final agreement was returned for a second review and approved within the two included revision rounds. The client entered the arrangement with a document they fully understood and terms that reflected their interests.
Pre-Investment Governance Framework
Corporate Compliance Advisory · 12 weeks
Challenge
A HCMC-based technology company preparing for its first institutional investment round had informal internal processes that had grown without any documented governance structure. Investors had flagged governance readiness as a condition of due diligence. The company had 12 weeks before initial investor meetings.
Solution
The 12-week engagement began with a regulatory landscape mapping exercise tailored to the company's sector. Policy documents were developed and reviewed across three monthly phases, with monthly briefings keeping the leadership team informed. Board reporting structure recommendations were provided in week eight.
Outcome
A comprehensive governance manual was delivered at week twelve. The company entered investor meetings with documented compliance processes, a reviewed employee handbook, and a board reporting structure that reflected Vietnamese corporate standards. The investment round proceeded to term sheet stage.
