Whether you're setting up factory/dev/retail operations in Vietnam — or you're a Korean digital product wanting to sell to Vietnamese customers — we have a productized playbook for you.
Most consulting firms only handle "open a Vietnam entity." We handle both — physical operations and digital go-to-market — because Korean companies entering Vietnam in 2026 need either, sometimes both.
For Korean companies that need physical/operational presence in Vietnam — manufacturing, dev teams, retail stores, training programs.
For Korean SaaS, fintech, edtech, e-commerce, gaming, AI products — bring your existing solution to Vietnamese customers without building a full local entity from day one.
Bringing a Korean SaaS, app, or digital product into Vietnam isn't just "translate the UI." Here's the real checklist of what your product needs before you can sign your first Vietnamese customer.
Full translation (not Google Translate), VN currency formats, phone format (+84), date/time, address fields, name conventions.
Local payment methods are critical. Credit card penetration is low — wallets and bank transfers dominate B2C.
Foreign digital services storing data of Vietnamese users may need a local representative office and local data storage. We assess applicability.
Foreign Contractor Tax (FCT) typically 5–10%, VAT 10%, mandatory e-invoice for B2B. Choose: register VN entity vs. use local distributor as MOR.
For some categories (fintech, social, e-commerce), data must be stored in Vietnam. We help select cloud regions and migrate data.
B2B: enterprise sales reps + system integrators. B2C: app stores + KOLs + paid ads. We connect you with the right channel based on TAM.
Vietnamese customers don't behave like Korean ones. Different platforms, different pricing psychology, different trust signals.
Live chat, email, and (often) phone in Vietnamese, on Vietnam business hours (UTC+7). SLA expectations are tighter than Korean market.
Vietnamese B2B buyers expect VND-denominated quotes, local invoicing, and Vietnamese-language contracts compliant with Civil Code.
