1. Difference between EOR (Outsourcing/Staffing) and establishment of the entity

There are three major differences between using EOR/GEO (Outsourcing/Staffing) services and establishing a base in Vietnam: time, risk, and cost.

“Time”

When establishing the entity (representative office, branch, or corporation) in Vietnam, it is said that it takes six months to a year to prepare documents, complete procedures and applications, and establish the entity.

In addition, in the unlikely event that the business does not succeed and the base is to be closed from Vietnam, clearance work needs to be done. It is said to take about one and a half to two years to complete the clearance work, during which time there is often incurred additional costs for miscellaneous work and fees paid to consulting firms.

However, by utilizing EOR (Outsourcing/Staffing), you can start your business in as short as one month (if you have decided on the local talent you would like to hire locally).

By starting in a minimum time, you can start your business speedily without losing business opportunities in the rapidly changing Southeast Asian market.

In addition, in the unlikely event that your business in Vietnam does not budge and you decide to close out of the Vietnamese market, you can quickly take the next action without having to clear out your entity of operations. Companies only need to dissolve in accordance with Vietnam's labor laws in order to terminate EOR (Outsourcing/Staffing) services.

“Risk”

In order to manage a company's business in Vietnam, it is necessary to operate the business in accordance with various local laws such as labor and tax laws.

Many managers posted from Japan to Vietnam are experienced salespeople who are not always familiar with local laws and cannot devote a lot of time to these matters. By outsourcing to our company, which has more than 15 years of experience specializing in HR outsourcing, we can reduce the compliance risks that occur there.

In addition, there are many cases where a company is forced to pay a large fine due to additional tax collection during clearance procedures following the closing of a business base.

When utilizing EOR (Outsourcing/Staffing), there is no need to worry about the risk of additional tax collection because there is no need for clearance operations when a company closes a business entity.

“Cost”

Establishing a local entity in Vietnam and closing it in the event of an emergency can be very costly. 

In addition, the management of the entity in Vietnam requires a large amount of fixed costs such as office rent, tax accounting, and tax return filing, even in Vietnam.

However, by utilizing EOR (Outsourcing/Staffing), the fixed costs other than human resources expenses can be reduced to only the management fee paid to us, allowing you to "try out" overseas expansion to Vietnam at a lower cost.

However, when utilizing EOR (Outsourcing/Staffing) or establishing a representative office, sales cannot be recorded locally in Vietnam. In such cases, the company will support the contract between the head office in your country and Vietnam and make sales to the head office in your country.

On the other hand, in the case of a corporation, local accounting work is required, but you can actually sell goods locally and record sales locally in Vietnam.

2. Difference in cost between EOR (Outsourcing/Staffing) and establishing the entity

Including from establishment to closing, there is a difference of approximately 50,000USD between establishing the entity of operations and utilizing EOR/GEO (Employer of Record) (Outsourcing/Staffing) services.

(If a company has a gross profit margin of 20%, a cost savings of approximately 50,000USD equals 250,000USD in sales.)

We would like you to decide whether to use EOR (Outsourcing/Staffing) or to establish a base of operations depending on the type of business you want to do in Vietnam.

5. EOR/GEO (Employer of Record) (Outsourcing/Staffing) Service Case Study

“Translation systems company”

We initially recruited and hired several sales staff, including a local manager.

Later, the Sales department gradually expanded and operations were stabilized.

Currently, the EOR (Outsourcing/Staffing) service has already been completed and a local entity has been established to further expand the local business sales channels.

“marketing services company”

We initially recruited and hired several local staff, including a local director.

Eventually, a representative from the head office was assigned to the company, and although it is an EOR (Outsourcing/Staffing) service, the company is developing its activities locally in an organized and effective way.

In the future, as soon as operations are more stable, the company is considering establishing a local entity.
