1. One member limited liability company (when there is only 1 investor)
This type of business has a low start-up cost, with a compact scale, easy-to-manage structure. One member LLC offers a future of development, suitable for most foreign investment industries (except for import and export, logistics, …)
2. Two-member limited liability company (when there are 2 investment individuals or 1 individual and 1 organization)
Most foreign investors choose this type to form joint ventures with domestic companies. Market knowledge of partners are advantages and premise for foreign investors to deploy projects in Vietnam.
