DOING BUSINESS IN VIETNAM

Vietnam Business Services Overview

OCRA Worldwide offers cost-effective Vietnam Business Services and Vietnam market entry solutions and expertise to companies and entrepreneurs wishing to take advantage of the attractive quality-to-cost ratio of Vietnamese manufacturing operations or seeking to access Vietnam's growing market for imported goods and services.

The transformation of Vietnam's centrally planned economy into a market-oriented economy has created a business and market environment in Vietnam where business regulations are subject to change, business goal posts are constantly being moved and bureaucracy is overbearing. Thus, doing business in Vietnam and Vietnam market entry are often challenging experiences and coming to terms with Vietnamese legislation, regulation, taxation and, most importantly, the Vietnamese way of doing business can be both expensive and time-consuming.

OCRA Worldwide's strength lies in its understanding of and ability to deal with these Vietnam business and market entry challenges. Our knowledge of relationships in Vietnam ensures that our clients receive full support in their business activities, be they in corporate support or business development services.

Our international outlook makes us sensitive to cultural and business differences and enable us to bridge the cultural and business gaps that can so easily hinder business success in Vietnam and facilitate our ability to deliver both Vietnam business services and Vietnam market entry solutions.
