Why do more and more businesses register virtual ‘terrible’ capital?

Why do more and more businesses register virtual ‘terrible’ capital?

According to legal experts, the reason why businesses deliberately “polish” their names with “heavenly” capital is due to the open regulations of the enterprise law.

Analysis of the “super-enterprises” claiming to have capital of up to hundreds of trillions of dong caused a stir in public opinion in the past time, most of the lawyers said that there were unusual and unbelievable signs, but that action is not illegal.

The reason is that the law does not currently stipulate how much minimum and maximum capital an enterprise must register, except for businesses operating in industries that require a minimum legal capital such as banking, insurance… Therefore, the enterprise’s self-registration of capital does not violate the Law on Enterprises and guiding documents when establishing the enterprise.

The legal regulations on enterprises encourage people to invest in business capital and self-declare information on charter capital when making business registration documents, instead of before the State had to check and verify that enterprises have enough amount of registration or not for new establishment.

According to the provisions of the Enterprise Law 2020, in cases where an enterprise does not fully contribute capital within the statutory 90 days, the enterprise is entitled to an extension of 60 days to adjust the contributed capital.

After the next 60 days, if there is no move to contribute enough capital, the enterprise must carry out procedures to cancel business registration and establish an enterprise. In the final step, if enterprises, individuals and legal entities fail to exercise their rights as permitted by law, they will be fined from 10-20 million VND.

Enterprises research packaging technology to increase competitiveness of Vietnamese agricultural products.

Enterprises research packaging technology to increase competitiveness of Vietnamese agricultural products.

According to statistics of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), post-harvest losses for agricultural products in developing countries are up to 20-30%. That means up to 20-30% of agricultural products are produced but do not reach consumers.

In that situation, new solutions for preservation and packaging of Vietnamese enterprises are expected to contribute to reducing costs not only for large enterprises and farm owners but also for smallholder farmers. The shelf life of many fresh fruit products has increased significantly. Thus, many kinds of fresh Vietnamese fruits and vegetables can be well exported to the EU market by sea. And the cost is greatly reduced compared to the EU market comparing with the previous period mainly exported by air.
