In particular, for the name of the household business, Article 88 of Decree No. 01/2021/ND-CP has the following provisions:

Naming of household businesses
1. Each household business has its own name. The name of a household business shall consist of two elements as follows:
a) The phrase “Hộ kinh doanh”;
b) The proper name.
The proper name consists of letters in the Vietnamese alphabet, the letters F, J, Z, W, digits, and symbols.
2. It is prohibited to use words or symbols that contradict Vietnam’s tradition, history, culture, and ethics in the proper name of the household business.
3. The name of a household business must not consist of the phrase “công ty” or “doanh nghiệp”.
