SBLaw would like to provide you the legal procedure for Vietnam Limited-liability company registration as follows:

1. Limited-Liability Company under Vietnam Enterprise Law
A limited-liability company is a legal entity established by its members through capital contributions to the company. The capital contribution of each member is treated as equity. The members of a limited-liability company are liable for the financial obligations of the limited-liability company to the extent of their capital contributions (actual or declared).

The management structure of a limited-liability company consists of the members’ council, the chairman of the members’ council, the general director and a controller (or board of supervisors where the limited-liability company has more than 10 members).
A limited-liability company established by foreign investors may take the form of either:
