What We Do
We help SMEs decide their first Vietnam move.
Hola Advisory is not a heavy consulting firm. We help business owners understand whether Vietnam is worth exploring, what to watch out for, who may be useful to speak with, and what first step is practical.
Our advantage is operator experience. We have built in Vietnam through construction fit-out, co-working, retail distribution, and market-entry support for overseas founders. That means our advice is grounded in actual execution, not just desktop research.
If there is a real fit, we can also point clients toward company setup partners, virtual office, co-working, property sourcing, office or retail fit-out, franchise routes, business-for-sale opportunities, and local introductions.
Why Speak With Us
We are not selling theory. We have had to make the same Vietnam decisions ourselves.
Clients speak with us for an honest first view before they spend money on market entry, hiring, property, inventory, or a larger consulting engagement.
From early sales to seven-figure run-rate
Our first-year sales were around the low six figures in USD. This year, our combined businesses are on course for roughly USD 1.2M-1.5M in annual sales.
Construction, workspace, retail, and distribution
We have operated across fit-out, co-working, retail distribution, handbags, and Vietnam soft-landing support, giving clients practical context across multiple entry routes.
