Can a foreigner legally open a business in Da Nang under their own name, and what does it usually cost?
Yes, in some sectors a foreigner can open a company in Da Nang with 100% ownership, but it depends on the business activity code and required licenses. In practice it is usually expensive because of registration, legal support, accounting, and possible investment requirements; using a Vietnamese citizen as the owner can be cheaper but means the business is not legally yours.
