What is an Employer of Record? Hiring in Vietnam without opening an entity

You found the perfect hire in Ho Chi Minh City — but you have no Vietnamese entity, and setting one up takes months. Employer of Record (EOR) solves exactly this.

How it works

BusinessPartner.vn legally employs your staff in Vietnam: contracts, payroll, social insurance, personal income tax and statutory benefits — all compliant, all local. Your team works for you day to day; we carry the legal employment.

When EOR beats entity setup

  • Testing the market with a small team first
  • Hiring 1–5 people where entity overhead isn't justified
  • Bridging the gap while your company registration is in progress

When to graduate to an entity

Roughly beyond 8–10 staff, or when you need to invoice locally — and we handle that transition too.

Employ in Vietnam in weeks: start with BusinessPartner.vn.
