Hey! đź‘‹
My name is Vincent Li.I help companies enter, operate and grow in Vietnam.
We’re part of Ascentium Group, a global business services platform backed by Hillhouse Investment, with 1,500+ professionals across 9 Asia-Pacific markets, supporting 20,000+ active clients across diverse industries (read our launch release here: Hillhouse-Backed Ascentium Launches Global Business Services Platform in Singapore).Vietnam is growing fast, and I make sure it works for you - without getting burned locally.
My Story - Saigon x Hong Kong
I have family roots in Saigon, but was raised and professionally trained in Hong Kong.I started my career as a Hong Kong lawyer - trained at international firm Simmons & Simmons across disputes, funds, and cross-border matters - before moving into private equity exposure at Kerogen Capital.
Then everything changed when I started helping with my family’s business in Vietnam.I grew up around a cross-border operation spanning mainland China, Vietnam, and the U.S. - initially focused on trading, sourcing, factories, and shipments, and later expanding into real estate. From 2018 onwards, I gradually became more involved - initially to support the family, but over time taking on a more active and committed role in the business.
Eventually, I started a boutique market entry firm focused on helping Greater China clients enter Vietnam. We began with a small team of 3, and later transitioned into InCorp Vietnam to expand our capabilities and integrate into a broader regional platform.Today, I lead market entry and partnerships at InCorp Vietnam, with a personal focus on the Greater China market. We have teams across Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Da Nang - and access to a broader Asia platform that supports:- 63,000+ client entities
- 38,000+ active clients
- 2,600+ professionals
- 46 cities globally
- 23+ markets across Asia-Pacific
This scale allows us to combine local execution in Vietnam with regional reach - which is where most cross-border strategies succeed or fail.
What I Do - Help Companies Enter & Grow in Vietnam
My work focuses on helping companies enter, operate and grow in Vietnam - professionally.This includes:
- entity setup and regulatory licensing
- integrated legal, tax and accounting support
- EOR, HR, payroll and immigration services
- ongoing compliance and operational supportVietnam isn’t complicated - but it is unforgiving. Most companies don’t fail on strategy. They fail on execution: the wrong structure, the wrong partners, the wrong assumptions about how things actually work locally.I focus on making Vietnam work in practice - not just on paper.Not just advising.
Actually doing it.
