Starting a company in Thailand: what to prepare

Quick answer

An orientation to the questions you will be asked, and the documents worth preparing before your first meeting.

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.
