Start an e-commerce business

With economies and businesses around the world being driven by the the internet, online retail is the newest business that makes customers lives easy and hence is in high demand. With the support of technology, this business is flourishing with high profit potential.  In Vietnam, online retail has been considerably successful with high demand for goods and services in fashion, cosmetics, F&B (Food & Beverage), Electronics etc.
Online retail should be carried out in the form of revolving funds. For example this means that the business owner should start with investing in importing goods, selling, making a profit and then use the profit to invest back in importing goods. Maintain an exponential development so that the ability of break even and generating high profit is likely.
However, there are still many factors to be considered before starting your own business. Take time to research the market, understand your competitors, industry benchmarks and customer behaviour first before investing in it.

Open a term deposit account

A term deposit is a savings account with a fixed term. Term deposits can only be withdrawn after a certain period of time as agreed upon locking your money. You will always know your interest rates beforehand and your interest rates will stay fixed for the whole term. While the flexibility in withdrawing money before the end of the fixed term is limited, the interest rate of term deposit is higher than non-term deposits as it is calculated based on the fixed term your money is locked in for.

Important notes:
From 5th July 2019, foreigners with a valid document proving residential status in Vietnam with at least 6 months validity will be eligible to open Term Deposit Accounts with a Term NOT greater than the remaining of its validity. Existing Term Deposits opened before 5th July 2019 will be continued until its maturity.

Should you lock your money for a short or long term?
Many banks have published interest rates for both short and long term deposits at a competitive level. However, interest rates should not be the only factor determining the length of your term deposit. If you want the flexibility to withdraw and use your term deposit in the near future, a short term deposit would be the more suitable choice. For those who do not have any immediate need to use the funds, a long term deposit would be the best option.
In order to maintain a constant interest on your term deposits, divide your savings into smaller term deposits. Doing this would help minimize the loss of interest even in situations when there is a need to withdraw your term deposit early, as only one or a few term deposits would be withdrawn.
