This is an orientation, not legal advice.\n\nBefore your first meeting with a lawyer or accountant, be able to answer three things clearly: what the business actually does, who owns what, and where the money comes in from.\n\nBring identification documents, a proposed company name or three, and a short written description of the activity. Structures, shareholding rules and permitted activities depend on your situation and change over time.\n\nConfirm every requirement with a qualified professional and the relevant Thai authority before you commit.
