Detail

Dear Valued Investor,

Thank you very much for your interest in investing in Vietnam and for providing us with information regarding your proposed investment project.

First and foremost, we sincerely appreciate the opportunity to support your company in identifying the most suitable industrial location and establishing a successful manufacturing operation in Vietnam.

For international investors entering the Vietnamese market for the first time, it is entirely understandable that there may be questions regarding the role of investment consulting firms, industrial real estate brokers, authorization procedures, brokerage commissions, and the overall process of working with industrial park developers and government authorities.

As business practices differ significantly from one country to another, we would like to take this opportunity to clearly explain our role, our representation services, our compensation structure, and the strategic value that TTTFIC Group brings to international investors throughout their investment journey in Vietnam.

INVESTORS DO NOT PAY BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

In Vietnam, investors are generally not required to pay brokerage commissions when purchasing or leasing industrial land, ready-built factories, warehouses, or other industrial properties introduced through an authorized brokerage and investment consulting company.

Upon the successful completion of a transaction, the brokerage commission is normally paid by the Industrial Park Developer, property owner, or relevant asset owner—not by the investor.

Therefore, your investment cost should not increase simply because you appoint TTTFIC Group to represent and support your interests throughout the project.

By working with TTTFIC Group, you gain access to our extensive nationwide industrial network, market intelligence, technical screening capabilities, commercial negotiation experience, government coordination resources, and comprehensive investment support without paying additional brokerage commissions to us for a successfully completed industrial property transaction, unless separate professional services are expressly agreed upon in writing.

Our objective is clear: to protect your interests, reduce investment risks, shorten the site-selection and decision-making process, secure the most favorable commercial terms available, and help you identify the optimal investment location for your long-term success in Vietnam.

WHY IS AN AUTHORIZATION LETTER REQUIRED?

The Authorization Letter is not a consulting agreement, not an exclusive brokerage contract, and does not automatically create any financial obligation for your company unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.

Its primary purpose is to officially authorize TTTFIC Group to represent your interests when communicating and coordinating with relevant organizations in Vietnam, including:

  • Industrial Park Developers and Infrastructure Developers;
  • Industrial Cluster Developers;
  • Export Processing Zones and Economic Zones;
  • Provincial and Municipal People’s Committees;
  • Industrial Park and Economic Zone Management Authorities;
  • State Investment Promotion Agencies;
  • Departments of Finance and investment-related government authorities;
  • Environmental Authorities;
  • Construction and Fire Prevention Authorities;
  • Licensing and regulatory authorities; and
  • Other relevant organizations involved in the evaluation and implementation of your investment project.

Without an appropriate authorization letter, many industrial park developers, property owners, and government authorities may be reluctant to disclose or formally discuss important project-related information, particularly information of a confidential, internal, technical, or commercially sensitive nature.

Such information may include:

  • Actual land or factory availability;
  • Internal pricing policies and special commercial conditions;
  • Investment incentives;
  • Negotiable payment terms;
  • Infrastructure conditions;
  • Environmental acceptance policies;
  • Electricity, water, steam, gas, and wastewater treatment capacities;
  • Chemical and hazardous-material policies;
  • Industry-specific acceptance requirements;
  • Expansion possibilities; and
  • Commercial negotiation flexibility.

The Authorization Letter therefore enables TTTFIC Group to work officially, efficiently, and professionally on your behalf while ensuring transparent communication among all relevant parties.

WHAT TTTFIC GROUP WILL DO FOR YOUR PROJECT

As your local investment representative and strategic partner in Vietnam, TTTFIC Group will provide comprehensive support throughout every stage of your investment project.

Our scope of services includes, but is not limited to:

  • Conducting a nationwide search to identify industrial parks, industrial clusters, economic zones, export processing zones, industrial land, ready-built factories, warehouses, and other suitable industrial properties;
  • Identifying locations that are legally, technically, environmentally, and commercially capable of accommodating your specific manufacturing industry;
  • Communicating directly with Industrial Park Management Authorities, provincial and municipal authorities, investment promotion agencies, environmental authorities, and other relevant government departments to obtain preliminary opinions or acceptance regarding your proposed manufacturing activities;
  • Verifying environmental compatibility, wastewater treatment capacity, electricity requirements, water demand, steam supply, fuel usage policies, hazardous chemical regulations, emissions requirements, logistics conditions, labor availability, and other technical requirements before you make a major investment decision;
  • Screening and evaluating numerous potential locations throughout Vietnam based on your technical requirements, investment strategy, capital expenditure, supply chain, logistics, labor requirements, infrastructure needs, environmental conditions, and long-term expansion plans;
  • Selecting and presenting three to five (3–5) of the most suitable options for your management team’s consideration;
  • Preparing objective comparisons of shortlisted options covering location, land price, rental rates, infrastructure, utilities, logistics, labor availability, environmental conditions, investment incentives, legal feasibility, expansion potential, and total investment advantages;
  • Continuing to identify additional alternative options if the initial shortlist does not fully satisfy your requirements;
  • Persistently searching, evaluating, negotiating, and presenting replacement options until the most appropriate solution is identified and your investment objectives can be successfully achieved;
  • Negotiating directly with Industrial Park Developers, property owners, and relevant stakeholders to secure the most competitive land prices, rental rates, payment terms, incentives, rent-free periods, infrastructure conditions, and other commercial benefits available;
  • Arranging site inspections, management meetings, technical discussions, government meetings, and commercial negotiations;
  • Representing or accompanying your company in discussions and negotiations with industrial park developers, property owners, government agencies, and other relevant stakeholders;
  • Coordinating Letters of Intent (LOI), Reservation Agreements, Memorandums of Understanding (MOU), Deposit Agreements, Land Lease Agreements, Factory Lease Agreements, Asset Transfer Agreements, and other transaction documents;
  • Assisting with Investment Registration Certificates (IRC), Enterprise Registration Certificates (ERC), environmental procedures, Environmental Impact Assessments where applicable, fire prevention and firefighting approvals, construction permits, and other legal procedures required for project implementation;
  • Providing bilingual interpretation, document translation, notarization coordination, legalization support, and communication assistance with government authorities; and
  • Supporting your project throughout the investment journey—from initial market entry and site selection to licensing, construction, factory establishment, commissioning, and successful operations.

OUR STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE: A NATIONWIDE INDUSTRIAL NETWORK BUILT OVER MORE THAN 20 YEARS

For more than two decades, TTTFIC Group has developed extensive market knowledge, trusted relationships, and strategic partnerships throughout Vietnam’s industrial investment ecosystem.

Today, we maintain strategic relationships and cooperation networks covering more than 702 Industrial Parks, Industrial Clusters, Export Processing Zones, and Economic Zones throughout Vietnam.

This extensive nationwide network enables us to provide international investors with market access, commercial intelligence, technical information, and negotiation opportunities that may not always be available through direct inquiries or public marketing channels.

Unlike an investor independently approaching only a limited number of industrial parks, TTTFIC Group can conduct a comprehensive nationwide search based entirely on the investor’s actual technical requirements and long-term business objectives.

We evaluate potential locations based on multiple critical factors, including:

  • Legal acceptance of the proposed industry;
  • Environmental compatibility;
  • Land and factory availability;
  • Infrastructure capacity;
  • Electricity, water, steam, gas, and wastewater treatment capabilities;
  • Logistics and proximity to ports, airports, highways, and supply chains;
  • Labor availability and operating costs;
  • Raw-material sources and market access;
  • Tax and investment incentives;
  • Expansion opportunities;
  • Commercial conditions; and
  • Long-term investment sustainability.

Our role is not to promote one particular industrial park or property.

Our responsibility is to objectively identify the most suitable location for the investor.

OUR 3–5 OPTION SELECTION STRATEGY

For every project entrusted to us, TTTFIC Group conducts a systematic screening and evaluation process before presenting recommendations to the investor.

Rather than overwhelming your management team with dozens of unsuitable properties, we carefully select three to five (3–5) of the most qualified options for detailed review and comparison.

These shortlisted options are selected based on your project’s specific technical, environmental, operational, logistical, legal, financial, and strategic requirements.

However, our work does not end with the first shortlist.

If none of the initial options fully meets your expectations, we will continue our search.

We will identify additional locations, conduct further evaluations, approach new industrial parks and property owners, negotiate additional commercial conditions, and present replacement options for your consideration.

We remain committed to continuing this process until the most suitable solution is identified and the foundation for a successful investment is established.

Our mission is not merely to present available industrial properties.

Our mission is to achieve the right investment outcome.

STRONG COMMERCIAL NEGOTIATION CAPABILITY

One of the most significant advantages of appointing TTTFIC Group is our ability to negotiate directly with industrial park developers, infrastructure developers, landowners, and property owners on behalf of our clients.

Having developed trusted relationships throughout Vietnam’s industrial market for more than 20 years, we are frequently able to obtain preferential commercial terms that may not be available through ordinary direct inquiries.

In many cases, industrial park developers and property owners have offered our clients preferential prices that are lower than their standard asking prices or publicly advertised rates appearing on websites, marketing materials, social media platforms, and other public channels.

This is possible because industrial park developers understand the value of qualified investors, professional project screening, efficient communication, and the long-term relationships that TTTFIC Group has built within Vietnam’s industrial investment market.

Our negotiation objectives may include:

  • Lower land prices or rental rates;
  • Preferential payment schedules;
  • Extended rent-free periods;
  • Infrastructure fee incentives;
  • Management fee incentives;
  • Support for utility connections;
  • Special investment incentives;
  • Flexible handover schedules;
  • Expansion rights; and
  • Other project-specific commercial benefits.

Our goal is to secure the strongest possible commercial position for our clients while maintaining transparent, professional, and constructive relationships with all parties involved.

A PROVEN TRACK RECORD SUPPORTING INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS

Over more than two decades, TTTFIC Group has supported thousands of investors from around the world in exploring, evaluating, and implementing investment opportunities in Vietnam.

Our clients have ranged from small and medium-sized enterprises to multinational corporations, global manufacturers, institutional investors, and major industrial groups.

Our experience includes supporting large-scale investment projects involving hundreds of millions and even billions of US dollars in committed or proposed investment capital.

We have worked across a broad range of manufacturing and industrial sectors, enabling us to understand that every investment project is unique.

A semiconductor project does not have the same requirements as a chemical plant. A food-processing facility does not face the same environmental challenges as a titanium, steel, automotive, electronics, renewable-energy, logistics, pharmaceutical, or advanced-materials project.

For this reason, we do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach.

Every project is evaluated individually, professionally, and strategically.

Our experience enables us to anticipate potential obstacles before they become expensive problems, identify regulatory and environmental risks at an early stage, compare investment destinations objectively, and help investors make better-informed decisions.

TRANSPARENCY, INTEGRITY AND PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

TTTFIC Group operates under a strict commitment to transparency, integrity, confidentiality, and professional ethics.

We believe that trust cannot be demanded. It must be earned through actions, transparency, consistency, and results.

We are committed to being transparent regarding our role and the source of our compensation throughout the transaction.

We do not charge hidden brokerage commissions, undisclosed fees, or unexpected costs to our clients.

Where additional professional services outside the standard brokerage scope are required—such as specialized legal procedures, technical consulting, due diligence, design, construction, licensing, environmental consulting, translation, or other separately commissioned services—such services will be clearly discussed and agreed upon in advance.

Our responsibility is to protect our clients’ interests, preserve confidentiality, reduce unnecessary risks, provide objective information, and support well-informed investment decisions.

OUR COMMITMENT: WE ARE NOT SIMPLY BROKERS. WE ARE YOUR STRATEGIC INVESTMENT PARTNER IN VIETNAM.

At TTTFIC Group, our responsibility extends far beyond introducing industrial land, factories, or warehouses.

We are not simply industrial real estate brokers.

We act as your long-term strategic investment partner in Vietnam.

From the moment your company begins evaluating Vietnam as a potential investment destination, TTTFIC Group is prepared to stand beside you throughout every critical stage of your investment journey.

  • We search.
  • We investigate.
  • We verify.
  • We compare.
  • We negotiate.
  • We coordinate.
  • We represent.
  • We solve problems.

And we continue working until the most appropriate path toward a successful investment has been identified.

Our commitment begins with understanding your project—not simply your required land area, but your manufacturing process, environmental conditions, utility requirements, logistics strategy, labor needs, supply chain, raw-material sources, target markets, expansion plans, investment timeline, and long-term objectives.

Based on that understanding, we mobilize our nationwide network to identify the strongest possible opportunities.

  • We engage with industrial park developers.
  • We coordinate with relevant government authorities.
  • We verify legal and environmental feasibility.
  • We evaluate technical infrastructure.
  • We compare commercial conditions.
  • We negotiate for preferential pricing and incentives.
  • We help anticipate risks before major capital is committed.
  • And if the first options are not suitable, we continue searching.
  • We do not consider our responsibility fulfilled simply because we have introduced a property or arranged a meeting.
  • We do not measure success by the number of industrial parks presented.
  • We do not define success merely by the signing of a transaction.

Our success is measured by the long-term success of our client’s investment in Vietnam.

Our ambition is to help you identify the right location, negotiate the right commercial terms, navigate the right legal pathway, minimize avoidable risks, establish your factory efficiently, and create the strongest possible foundation for sustainable long-term operations.

From initial site selection to negotiations, licensing, construction, commissioning, expansion, and successful operations, our goal is to remain a reliable strategic partner whenever our expertise, network, experience, or local capabilities can create meaningful value for your investment.

For more than 20 years, we have built our reputation not merely through transactions, but through relationships, trust, market knowledge, perseverance, and results.

We understand that an international investment project may represent years of planning, substantial capital, thousands of jobs, major technological commitments, and the long-term future of a business.

We therefore approach every serious project with the responsibility it deserves.

Your investment objectives become our mission.

Your challenges become challenges that we work to solve.

Your long-term success in Vietnam becomes the ultimate measure of our own success.

That is our commitment.

That is our responsibility.

And that is the standard by which TTTFIC Group seeks to be judged.
