Capital Planning Guide

Simple Formula:

Capitalization should support your business for at least 1.5 years of operational expenses.

Calculate your annual costs (rent + equipment + salaries + operating expenses) and multiply by 1.5 for a safe starting capital.

Industry Examples:

Coffee Shop:1-2B VND ($40-80K) - Depends on location, with/without alcohol license

Restaurant:Minimum 3B VND (~$120K) - Higher for premium locations or full bar

Import/Export:Varies based on products and volume - minimum 1B VND recommended

Tech/Consulting:500M-1B VND ($20-40K) - Lower overhead businesses

Three key considerations when deciding your capital amount:

What You Can Afford Comfortably

This money becomes company money deposited into the business bank account - you need 100% of the capital available to transfer. You still need to live as a founder, so don't put everything in if it would make you struggle financially.

Remember: This capital is working capital for your business, not lost money. You'll use it to operate.

Client & Partner Perception

Your business license is public - partners and clients can check it online. This number makes an impression. Not too big to scare them off, not too small to be undervalued. Many businesses regret choosing too low initially.

Legal Responsibility & Visa Requirements

This capital represents your liability if issues arise. For visa purposes:

•Under 3B VND (~$120K): Typically 6-12 month investment visas
•3B VND+ (~$120K+): Qualify for 3-4 year investment visas
•Higher capital: Better for sponsoring multiple employees

Note: We'll discuss your specific situation during the free consultation and help you calculate the optimal capital amount based on your business plan, industry, and visa needs.
