Business Registration

Business Registration in Thailand

Setting up a business in Thailand involves significant paperwork and regulatory steps. A lawyer handles everything efficiently so you can focus on your business.

Types of Business Entities

• Limited Company (Borisat Jamgad) — Requires at least 3 shareholders; minimum registered capital 1 THB (though 1–2M THB is recommended for credibility)
• Limited Partnership — Simpler structure for small businesses; 2+ partners required
• Association / Foundation — Non-profit organizations requiring registrar approval

Company Registration Steps

1. Reserve company name with the Department of Business Development (DBD)
2. Draft Memorandum of Association stating objectives and capital
3. Statutory meeting — appoint directors, pay-up capital
4. File registration — certificate issued within 1–3 business days
5. Register for VAT if annual revenue exceeds 1.8M THB

Trademark Registration

Trademark registration protects your brand from imitation. The process takes approximately 12–18 months from filing to certificate issuance.
