Using offshore software development services to set up an offshore company in Vietnam has become a popular choice for tech startups and SMEs to cope with the harsh business landscape with limited budgets and scarce resources.
With the advantage of a low-cost but high-quality tech workforce, offshoring to Vietnam will allow companies to continue accelerating the team’s software development capability and successfully cut down operational costs significantly. In fact, the country is ranked as the fifth leading destination for offshoring business operations, ousting Thailand, and the Philippines.
Moreover, the reasons why they are relying on professional help, instead of venturing alone, is related to how companies are often struggling to access the market and build their offshore development teams, as they fail to overcome several key challenges.
Language and Cultural Barriers
One of the biggest challenges with offshore operations is working with staff who live in a different culture. In other words, hiring the right talents who can speak English while sharing a similar mindset is a must.
Unfortunately, it is often extremely difficult to access local human resources, especially for companies that do not have prior experience operating in overseas markets.
Managing Administrative Tasks
Whether you are planning to incorporate an offshore company in Vietnam or just looking for an offshore development team, it will involve administrative procedures and legal documents for compliance.
The real problem is that small businesses and startups might not have a dedicated team for administrative tasks, so they often end up struggling to balance time and resources for core activities and other time-consuming tasks such as these.
Finding Office Space
No business leader wants to hear that their employees cannot finish their work, or experience delays in offshore mobile application development, due to distracting environments and low-speed wifi.
Hence, finding an adequate workplace is crucial when it comes to setting up an offshore company. This process will once again eat up a lot of your time. Even then, renting an office can be risky in this time of uncertainty, since cash reserves are relatively low.
How Our Offshore Software Development Services Can Help You

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Setting up an offshore company in Vietnam is difficult even for big enterprises, especially when it comes to software and mobile app development. So, it is imperative to minimize risks of failure by having a trustworthy third-party offshore consultancy with a deep knowledge on the local market.
By all means, you can definitely venture on your own. However, keep in mind that it will take longer, and may cost more for tasks that can be done swiftly by external sources.
