Frequently asked questions
Can a foreign investor build a wholly-owned factory in Hai Phong?
Yes. In most manufacturing sectors a foreign investor can hold 100% and lease land in an industrial zone, subject to project approval and the relevant licences.
What comes first — the IRC or the land lease?
Sequencing matters. We coordinate the IRC, the land / factory lease and construction approvals so commitments are made in the right order and on realistic timelines.
Do you handle labour compliance for factories?
Yes. We prepare labour contracts, internal labour regulations and social-insurance registration, and advise on work permits for foreign managers.
