🎯 Navigating Key Milestones with Unwavering Transparency
Let’s examine how our commitment to control and transparency manifests across the critical milestones of your F&B company registration in Vietnam:
1. 📜 Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) / Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC) Acquisition:
Our Mechanism for Control:
This foundational step can be fraught with delays. We ensure transparency by:
- Uploading all submitted documents, including official government receipts, to your dashboard immediately upon lodgement with the Department of Planning and Investment (DPI).
- Providing weekly updates on the DPI's feedback. If clarifications are requested, the exact nature of the request and our proposed response will be detailed in your weekly report and reflected on the dashboard.
- The expected processing time is clearly marked, and any deviation will be immediately flagged with a detailed explanation of the cause and our corrective actions.
- Upon issuance, the official IRC/ERC will be promptly uploaded, marking a definitive "green light" on your timeline.
2. 💰 Initial Tax Registration & Invoice Issuance:
Our Mechanism for Control:
Operational readiness hinges on tax compliance. We ensure you are equipped by:
- Confirming your tax code issuance date on the dashboard.
- Providing a clear timeline for e-invoice system setup and activation, ensuring you know exactly when your company is ready to issue official VAT invoices.
- Our team will provide clear, concise instructions and support for the initial setup, ensuring you maintain control over this critical financial tool.
3. 🏦 Bank Account Opening & Capital Contribution:
Our Mechanism for Control:
Capital compliance is non-negotiable. We offer:
- Timely updates on the status of your capital and operating accounts, with official bank confirmations uploaded to your dashboard.
- Clear guidance on the legally mandated capital contribution timeline and alerts well in advance of the deadline.
- Verification of capital transfer completion, providing peace of mind that this crucial requirement has been met without penalty.
4. 🍔 Food Hygiene and Safety Certificate (FHSC):
Our Mechanism for Control:
This is a highly scrutinized permit. Our approach maximizes your oversight:
- We provide a detailed pre-inspection checklist, allowing you to cross-verify your facility's readiness against our expert assessment before the Department of Health (DOH) inspection.
- All application submissions for FHSC are documented on your dashboard with official receipt numbers.
- Scheduled and actual inspection dates are immediately logged. Crucially, if any rectification is required, a clear action plan with defined responsibilities and deadlines will appear on your dashboard, along with the official DOH report. You will have a verifiable record of every step taken to achieve compliance.
5. 🔥 Fire Prevention and Fighting Certificate (FPFC) & 🍷 Retail Liquor/Alcohol License (if applicable):
Our Mechanism for Control:
- Application submissions, inspection dates, and official approval dates are all meticulously recorded and updated on your dashboard.
- Any specific local requirements or potential roadblocks (e.g., proximity restrictions for liquor licenses) are highlighted upfront with our recommended mitigation strategies, ensuring no surprises.
✨ Beyond the Contract: Sustained Control and Peace of Mind
Our role as your legal counsel doesn't end with initial registration. We build trust through a system that extends far beyond the contract's signing:
-
👷 Labor Registration & Social Insurance:
We provide clear tracking of employee registrations with DOLISA and social insurance contributions, ensuring your ongoing compliance with Vietnam's labor laws and mitigating future disputes.
-
🔄 License Renewals:
A central log of all your license expiry dates is maintained on your dashboard. Automated alerts will prompt you and our team to initiate renewal applications well in advance (typically 2-3 months prior to expiry), preventing operational shutdowns and penalties. This proactive management is a core part of our "protective system."
-
✅ Ongoing Compliance Support:
For tax filings and other regulatory obligations, we transition the same level of transparency and documentation, ensuring you maintain control over your company's good standing in Vietnam.
