Market entry and investment support for Vietnam, from Singapore

One Sign Vietnam Desk

Practical help for foreign companies that want to research, enter or invest in the Vietnamese market. We work with our partner company in Vietnam, whose team does the work on the ground (we introduce the team in our first call): briefings, finding and checking local partners, introductions to licensed professional firms, and support with meetings, offices and hiring.

Who it is for

Companies at an early or practical stage

The service suits companies that are considering Vietnam and want reliable information before committing, and companies that have decided and need people on the ground to get things done.

  • Companies researching Vietnam as a market, a production base or a sourcing location
  • Companies looking for a local partner, supplier or distributor
  • Investors preparing to set up a company or a representative office
  • Companies already in Vietnam that need support with a specific project
