Once an underdeveloped country, in the last two decades Vietnam has shown an incredible growth in the world economic scene, especially in the criteria of investment attraction. For a foreign company that is interested in expanding the business in a new country or region, Vietnam is a promising destination. In order to start a company or specifically a trading company in Vietnam, foreign investor should comprehensively understand the formality and function of the legal entity to be formed according to Vietnam Law. The consultancy and guidance of skilled and qualified lawyers in Vietnam law firm throughout the process shall mostly be needed.
The legal basis for a foreign company to set up a company in Vietnam is stated in pursuance with clause 1, article 13 of the 2005 Enterprise Law of Vietnam: foreign organizations and individuals will be entitled to establish and manage enterprises in Vietnam in accordance with this law, with some exceptions.  The establishment of a 100% investor-owned company is governed in Article 7 of the Decree 108/2006/ND-CP, based on which foreign investors may invest in the form of 100% foreign- owned capital to establish limited liability companies, joint-stock companies, partnerships or private enterprises under the provisions of the Enterprise Law and relevant laws.
If the foreign investment projects capitalized at under 300 billion VND each (USD 14 mil), and falling outside the list of the conditional investment domains, investor shall fill in the investment registration procedures at provincial-level state agencies in charge of investment in order to be granted the investment certificates, in accordance with clause 1, article 16 of the 2005 Investment Law. The dossier required for the investment registration in compliance with article 46 of the No.108/2006/ND-CP Decree shall comprise of an examination dossier, papers referred to in Clauses 1 and 2, Article 44 of this Decree, and exposition on the capability to satisfy the conditions which the project is required by law to satisfy, for investment projects in conditional investment domains defined in Article 29 of the Investment Law and Appendix III to this Decree.
In the event that the domestic investment projects and foreign investment projects capitalized at 300 billion VND or more each, and those on the list of conditional investment projects, the examination of investment projects procedures must be taken in order for the foreign company to be granted the investment certificates.

Pursuant to Clause 4, Article 8 of the Enterprise Law, companies have the right to conduct import and export to support its operation in Vietnam without clearly stating what they import-export. However, if the enterprise is expected to import into Vietnam for trading purpose, such business line is conditional business line.  Different from other types of company, trading company acts as a middle company, connect buyers with sellers in different countries. Therefore, it should be noted that, trading company needs to commit larger investment in terms of capital, since its function is to identify competitive suppliers, negotiate and purchase their products and sell them through a distribution network in Vietnam.
