In today’s fiercely competitive market, business premises are not just a “point of sale” but a strategic weapon that creates a competitive edge. A prime location can help brands increase customer reach, build a professional image, and quickly capture market share.
The location, size, design and amenities of a property form the foundation of customer experience and operational efficiency. Choosing the right premises is no longer simply a cost consideration but a long-term investment strategy that enables brands to grow sustainably in Vietnam.

1. The Importance of Location
Location is considered the “heart” of any business premises, directly determining its ability to attract and reach customers.
- Being in the city center or near major transport routes allows brands to be more visible and quickly connect with potential customers.
- Developed residential areas, shopping malls, office buildings and schools are all “hot spots” with high foot traffic.
- A convenient location also makes it easier for customers to find your business online, for example when they search for “business premises in District 1.”
2. Other Key Factors for Successful Business Premises
2.1 Appropriate Size
- Premises that are too small may limit product display and customer experience, while overly large premises can waste rental and maintenance costs.
- Businesses should assess their type of operation (retail, F&B, showroom, logistics, etc.) to select the most suitable size.

2.2 Attractive and Flexible Design
- An eye-catching façade and clear branding help a business stand out from first glance.
- Interior space should be arranged flexibly, with logical areas for sales, storage and supporting offices. An optimized design reduces operating costs and enhances customer experience.

2.3 Supportive Amenities and Infrastructure Connectivity
- Parking, public transport access, clean restrooms, lighting and air conditioning all contribute to comfort for both customers and staff.
- Reliable infrastructure such as electricity, water and telecommunications is essential, especially for FDI companies, logistics operations and retail chains.
2.4 Transparent Financial & Legal Aspects
- Rental fees and additional charges (service fees, maintenance, security, etc.) must be clear, without unforeseen extra costs.
- Clean legal documents, appropriate usage permits and zoning that allows commercial activities are crucial to avoid long-term risks.
