Get Your Business Household License in Just 3 Days
A business household license is an official certificate issued by Vietnam’s business registration authority, allowing you to operate legally as a household business in Vietnam. It’s a perfect model for individuals or small groups looking to run a modest business—like a cozy café, a service shop, or a retail store.
As a foreigner, you can’t directly register a business household because Vietnamese law requires the owner to be a Vietnamese citizen. But don’t worry! You can appoint a trusted Vietnamese partner to register on your behalf while you manage operations and keep the profits. At CMT Consulting, our business household licensing service ensures this process is legal, fast, and stress-free for you.

Does a Business Household Have a Tax Code?

You’ll need:
- A food safety certificate (regulated by the Ministry of Health).
