NYSE American for Vietnam companies
NYSE American gives earlier-stage Vietnamese companies a national-exchange listing without immediately clearing Nasdaq's largest thresholds. Its standards based on assets, revenue or market value can suit growing electronics, consumer and services businesses, and the NYSE brand offers a recognised platform for later dollar fundraising as scale and audit history develop.
Structuring a reverse takeover from Vietnam
Cross-border deals from Vietnam almost always sit above the operating company through an offshore holding vehicle — Singapore is a frequent choice for South-East Asian groups, alongside Cayman or BVI — which becomes the US-listed parent. Two Vietnamese frameworks drive the early work. Outbound investment by Vietnamese residents generally requires an offshore-investment registration certificate from the Ministry of Planning and Investment and foreign-exchange registration with the State Bank of Vietnam, while foreign-ownership limits shape how, and how much, a foreign holdco may own in the local business. Capital-account controls on the dong, licensing in restricted sectors, and the tax cost of contributing shares upward all need mapping. This is specialist territory: structuring should be set with Vietnamese and US counsel and tax advisers, subject to current rules and specialist advice.
