Comparison Kizuna with traditional rental factories in Vietnam (price, service, flexibility)

For many businesses, expanding into Vietnam is a strategic move to reduce costs and access new markets. But setting up a factory from scratch can be complex, expensive, and time-consuming. Rental factories offer a faster way in, yet not all solutions are created equal.

This guide will show you how Kizuna Factory stands out from the competition, providing not just a space to work but a comprehensive ecosystem for long-term success.

At Kizuna, we go beyond simply providing space. We deliver a complete ecosystem that helps companies start operations quickly, reduce risks, and scale with confidence.

1.Vietnam as a Strategic Destination for Investment

Vietnam is rapidly establishing itself as a leading hub for manufacturing and investment in Southeast Asia. With a stable economy, abundant labor force, and competitive costs, the country has become an ideal destination for foreign enterprises — particularly from Japan, South Korea, and Europe — seeking opportunities to expand and diversify their supply chains.

However, setting up a new production facility in an unfamiliar market is far from simple. Legal procedures, infrastructure development, and recruiting qualified staff can be both time-consuming and costly. In this context, ready-built factory solutions have emerged as an optimal choice, enabling companies to quickly realize their business plans and enter the market with efficiency.

2.How Kizuna Helps Companies Reduce Overall Costs

In Vietnam’s rental market, a cheap rate often hides extra expenses — from legal fees to utility surcharges. Kizuna takes a different approach: we focus on total cost efficiency.

Kizuna provides a clear, transparent pricing structure from the start

Transparent pricing with no hidden fees

With us, what you see is what you get. Instead of adding separate charges for security, maintenance, or admin support, we bundle everything into one clear fee. That means no surprises, easier budgeting, and more freedom to focus on your business.

Ready-to-move-in factories that save on initial investment

Building from scratch costs time and money. Our factories are already built, fully equipped with power, water, and fire safety systems. You can move in and start production right after signing the contract, saving capital for machinery, R&D, and growth.

One-stop service and efficient design that cut operating costs

We take care of the details — legal paperwork, facility maintenance, security, even admin support. This reduces the need for extra staff and lowers overhead. On top of that, our energy-efficient infrastructure keeps utility bills down, helping you run lean and cost-effective operations for the long term.

3.What Services Set Kizuna Apart from Traditional Rental Factories in Vietnam?

Comparison Table: Kizuna Factory vs. Traditional Rental Factories in Vietnam

Comparison Criteria

Kizuna Factory

Traditional Rental Factories

1.Cost & Pricing

Lease Price

Transparent, all-inclusive pricing. The lease fee covers many services and eliminates hidden costs.

Often low list prices. However, a variety of hidden costs can arise later.

Hidden Fees

Minimal to none. Service, management, and maintenance fees are bundled into the lease price.

Frequent. Separate fees for security, maintenance, wastewater treatment, etc., are common.

Initial Investment

Minimal. The "ready-to-move-in" model eliminates the need for land acquisition and construction.

High. Businesses must invest significantly in construction, equipment, or major renovations.

Operating Costs

Lower. The "all-in-one" service and energy-efficient designs help reduce staffing needs and utility expenses.

Dependent on the company. Businesses must manage and pay for all operational services themselves, leading to higher costs.

2.Support Services

Legal & Administrative

Comprehensive. Full support for complex procedures like company formation, investment licenses, visas, and work permits.

Limited or non-existent. Companies must hire external legal consultants, which is costly and time-consuming.

Operational Support

Full-scale. Includes 24/7 security, maintenance, cleaning, environmental management (wastewater treatment), and reception.

Basic. Typically only offers fundamental services like security and utilities. Companies must handle all other operational tasks themselves.

Support Staff

Professional, multilingual. Staff members can communicate in English and Japanese, which simplifies communication and problem-solving.

Limited. Usually only Vietnamese or English-speaking staff are available, which can create a language barrier.

3.Flexibility

Factory Types

Diverse. Offers various types, including detached factories, mixed-use (office + production), and service apartment factories, to suit different business sizes.

Often limited. Primarily offers either detached factories or built-to-suit options, with fewer choices for small-to-medium enterprises.

Expansion Capability

Easy and fast. Businesses can lease additional space within the same industrial park without relocating.

Complex. Expansion often requires finding a new location or a new build, which disrupts production.

Speed to Market

Very fast. The "ready-built" model allows companies to begin production almost immediately after signing the contract.

Slow. The construction and setup process can take months to over a year.

Long-Term Risk

Low. Flexible lease terms and a reduced initial investment lower the long-term market risk for investors.

High. A large initial investment and long construction period increase market risk.
