About Forra

Built for the way
FDI actually works.

Forra was founded on one observation: foreign companies in Vietnam were paying four separate providers to do a job that works better as one. We built the firm to fix that.

“We kept seeing the same problem — good companies, smart founders, but avoidable mistakes because formation, compliance, HR and immigration were never talking to each other. Forra was built to close that gap.”

Our Story

From a single idea
in Ho Chi Minh City.

Forra was founded in 2025 by a team of advisors who had spent years working inside Vietnam's FDI landscape — across accounting practices, corporate advisory, and immigration firms — and had grown frustrated with the fragmented, expensive way foreign companies were being served.

The founding idea was simple: one firm covering formation, compliance, HR, and immigration, with a fixed-fee model that removes the anxiety of open-ended billing. We built Forra to be the firm we wished had existed when we were on the other side of the table.

We are deliberately focused on Vietnam. We don't spread thin across the region. One market, done properly — that is the point.

Our Principles

Three things we don't compromise on.

Every decision Forra makes — from pricing to staffing to the scope of each engagement — comes back to these three principles. They're not marketing copy. They're how we run the firm.

Fixed fees, always

Every engagement is quoted as a flat fee before work begins. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no invoice surprises. You know the cost before you commit — and it doesn't change unless the scope does.

One team, all functions

Formation, compliance, HR and immigration are handled by the same firm. Your entity setup informs your payroll. Your onboarding connects to your immigration filings. Integrated by design, not by accident.

Proactive, not reactive

We track your obligations, flag what's coming, and act before it becomes a problem. That's what an integrated team can do that four separate providers simply cannot.
