Considering the Kinds of Company Dissolution in Vietnam
Company dissolution in Vietnam refers to the formal termination of a business entity, adhering to the regulations set forth by the Law on Enterprises (LOE). This process ensures that all legal and financial obligations are met before the business ceases operations. There are two primary methods through which company dissolution can occur, each with specific procedures and requirements to be followed.
Voluntary Dissolution
Voluntary dissolution is a process initiated when company owners decide to close their business for reasons that serve the company’s best interests. This decision allows the owners to settle any outstanding debts, distribute remaining assets, and formally end the company's operations in an orderly manner. By undertaking a voluntary dissolution, owners ensure that their business complies with regulatory requirements, protects stakeholder interests, and preserves their professional standing.
A voluntary dissolution may be pursued under various circumstances. For example, it might occur when the specified operating period outlined in the company’s charter has expired and owners decide not to renew it. Additionally, if owners recognize inefficiencies or operational challenges that hinder sustainable growth, they may conclude that discontinuing the business is the most prudent choice. This process provides an efficient and responsible way for owners to exit from their business commitments, safeguarding their financial and legal responsibilities.
Compulsory Dissolution
Compulsory dissolution refers to the forced termination of a business or company mandated by government authorities due to non-compliance with legal provisions or regulatory requirements. This action is often initiated when a business violates established laws or regulations that govern its operations, resulting in the enforced cessation of all business activities. Government agencies responsible for monitoring corporate compliance may step in when violations are significant or when the company’s actions pose risks to stakeholders or the general public.
Another common reason for compulsory dissolution is the failure of a business to meet minimum requirements for members or shareholders as defined by regulatory authorities. If a company falls short of these requirements and cannot rectify the issue within a designated period, it may be dissolved by order of the authorities. This enforced closure underscores the importance of ongoing compliance with legal standards to avoid the severe consequences that follow compulsory dissolution.
Key Considerations for Company Dissolution in Vietnam
01
Operation Term
Company dissolution in Vietnam may be initiated when the duration specified in the company’s charter reaches its end, provided there is no resolution or decision to extend this term. Companies must operate strictly within the timeframe outlined in their foundational documents. If no action is taken to renew or extend the operational duration as it nears its end, dissolution procedures will naturally follow, concluding the company’s legal existence.
02
Dissolution
A company in Vietnam can also be dissolved based on formal resolutions and decisions made by its governing bodies. For partnerships and limited liability companies, this may be decided by the Members’ Council, while in joint-stock companies, the shareholders’ meeting has the authority. Business owners in sole proprietorships can independently make this decision. The formal approval process signifies a collective intent to conclude operations, adhering to Vietnamese corporate law.
03
Membership Requirements
In cases where a company fails to maintain the minimum number of members required for its type (such as a partnership or LLC) over six consecutive months, dissolution becomes a possible resolution. If the enterprise does not change its structure to meet legal requirements within this timeframe, it must proceed with dissolution. This measure ensures that each company type maintains its proper operational framework in alignment with Vietnamese enterprise regulations.
04
Enterprise Registration
When an enterprise registration certificate is revoked, company dissolution is generally mandatory, unless specified otherwise by the Law on Tax Administration. Revocation often signals serious regulatory issues, necessitating dissolution if unresolved. Both the enterprise and its manager are held liable for any debts and financial obligations. However, dissolution cannot proceed if the company is undergoing active dispute resolution, reinforcing the requirement to settle all obligations first.
