Opening a Company in the New Kien Hung Ward

Opening a company in areas experiencing rapid infrastructure and population growth, such as Kien Hung ward (Ha Dong district, Hanoi), has become a rising trend among startups, entrepreneurs, and investors. However, when there are changes in administrative boundaries or updates in administrative units such as the newly merged Kiến Hưng Ward, many individuals are uncertain about the competent authorities and procedures for business registration. Through the following article, Việt An Law will help you understand the legal process for opening a company in the new Kien Hung ward.

Overview of Kien Hung ward after the merger

Kien Hung ward was originally established under Government Resolution No. 19 dated May 8, 2009, with a total natural area of 428.46 hectares and a population of 15,729 people, residing across 16 residential groups. To the east, it borders Huu Hoa commune, Thanh Tri district; to the west, it borders Ha Cau ward and Phu La ward, Ha Dong district; to the south, it borders Cu Khe commune, Thanh Oai district and Phu Luong ward, Ha Dong district; and to the north, it borders Phuc La ward, Ha Dong district and Tan Trieu commune, Thanh Tri district.

Currently, under Resolution 19/NQ-HDND issued in 2025, the Hanoi People’s Council has approved the policy on reorganizing commune-level administrative units in Hanoi. Specifically, Kien Hung becomes the commune-level administrative unit with the smallest area and population after the restructuring, with a total area of 6.46 km² and a population of 62,984 people.

The new Kien Hung ward is formed from the majority of the natural area and population of the former Kien Hung and Phu La wards (Ha Dong district); and from parts of the natural area and population of Phu Luong, Ha Cau, and Quang Trung wards (Ha Dong district), Tan Trieu commune (Thanh Tri district). It is expected that the headquarters of the party committee, people’s council, people’s committee, Fatherland Front, and other socio-political organizations will be located at the current Kien Hung ward people’s committee office.

Demand for opening a company in the new Kien Hung ward

Kien Hung ward holds a strategically advantageous geographical position, being adjacent to major transportation arteries such as Route 70A, Quang Trung – Nguyen Trai street, and the Cat Linh – Ha Dong urban railway line. In addition, major urban areas such as Thanh Ha – Cienco5, Van Phu, and Xa La have attracted tens of thousands of residents, generating strong demand for services in commerce, education, healthcare, and logistics.

The growing demand for opening companies is clearly reflected in data from the National Business Registration Portal. In the first quarter of 2025, Ha Dong district recorded hundreds of newly registered businesses each month, with stable growth, particularly in densely populated wards such as Van Phu, Phu La, and Kien Hung. The shift from the city center toward suburban areas like Ha Dong is also driving demand for establishing business headquarters, branches, and representative offices in this region.

Company registering for opening a company in the Kien Hung area mainly operate in the following sectors: traditional craft villages (such as Da Sy blacksmithing, cultural tourism related to craft villages, blacksmithing products, etc.); construction and building materials (including civil construction contractors, home renovation, infrastructure development, trading in construction materials and interior furnishings); commerce and retail (such as convenience store chains, mini supermarkets, mother-and-baby shops, cafés, restaurants and food service businesses, clinics, spas, and health care centers); private education (such as kindergartens and educational centers); logistics and warehousing (including cold storage, e-commerce warehouses, delivery and transportation services); and information technology and digital services. These sectors reflect the actual development potential of the local area, with advantages such as large available premises, increasing consumer demand, a growing young population, and proximity to strategic transportation routes.

Competent authorities after the administrative boundary adjustment

Accurately identifying the competent authority responsible for receiving and processing company registration documents is a key factor in the business registration process. According to regulations, business registration involves submitting the application to the Business Registration Office under the Department of Finance of the locality where the company’s head office is located.
