[Strategic View] Starting in Vietnam: Choose 'Operate', 'Distribute' or 'Full-Own' Model?

Entering a new market always comes with cost and legal risks. At Gatewayvn, we design 3 specialized roadmaps to suit each stage and potential of the brand.

The 'Operate' model is for businesses that already have a legal entity in Vietnam but lack personnel who understand the market. Gatewayvn will handle all content production, eCommerce operations, and advertising, while you retain control of cash flow and goods.

The 'Distribute' model is suitable for brands wanting to enter the market quickly without the time to establish a legal entity. Gatewayvn will import, distribute, and manage the entire supply chain.

Finally, 'Full-Own' is the most comprehensive solution. We are responsible from A-Z, including completing specialized licenses and customs procedures to ensure absolute compliance before goods go on shelves.
