Limited Company Formation in Thailand

Starting a Limited Company with SiamConsult

Whether you’re planning to launch your new venture in Krabi, Ao Nang, Koh Lanta, Phi Phi Islands, Phang Nga, or Phuket, our local experts are here to make the journey easy and compliant. From business registration and work permits to BOI company registration and obtaining a Foreign Business License (FBL), we ensure you have the proper structure in place to achieve your goals.

Starting up a business in Thailand involves several steps, from choosing a company name to obtaining the necessary licenses and permits, registering for VAT, opening a corporate bank account, and more.

While the process can seem complex, the benefits of starting a business in Thailand include a welcoming business environment and access to high-growth sectors. However, navigating local regulations and procedures can be challenging without the right expertise.

That’s where SiamConsult comes in. We handle the entire process for you, from start to finish, ensuring that your business complies with Thai laws and regulations.
Every step is professionally managed—whether it’s company setup, BOI and FBL applications, or ongoing compliance. While there may be challenges such as documentation requirements or varying processing times, we’re here to make it smooth and efficient. Our team provides comprehensive support, guidance, and local expertise, enabling you to concentrate on building and expanding your business in Thailand.

Setting Up Your Business with SiamConsult

In our first meeting—online or in person—you describe your business vision, even if you don’t have every detail yet.
This relaxed conversation is your chance to explore ideas, from opening a restaurant or running a tourism company, to registering a BOI project or applying for a Foreign Business License (FBL).

Your questions are always welcome. Thai business basics, regulations, and opportunities are explained in clear, straightforward language, so you can feel confident moving forward.
You can also get our help for a visa, a marriage license, or any legal contract needs. Private or for business – we’ve got your back.

After listening to your idea, the team outlines your options—whether a Thai Limited Company, BOI registration, or Foreign Business License (FBL) is right for you.
Each route is explained clearly, along with its pros and cons, tailored to your unique situation. Straight answers are given—no jargon, just practical advice for your path ahead.

Licensing, work permits, and compliance are the following subjects. You may need industry-specific licenses, such as those for food, alcohol, hotels, export, or tourism.
If your company qualifies for BOI privileges or you require an FBL, all necessary documents are prepared and submitted.

We provide up-to-date information from official sources, including the BOI Thailand and the Thai FDA.
When it’s time for work permits, other paperwork, and submission, your situation is fully managed. For more info: Visit the Work Permit Services and the Ministry of Labour.

Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating business contracts is supported for you—see more on our legal contracts page.
Once your business is up and running, ongoing support is available through accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, and audit services.

We are here to build lasting cooperations.

Company Formation – Step-by-Step Guide with SiamConsult

From the very first message to the final stamp in your company documents, our process is smooth and clear. On average, the entire setup—from first chat to full registration and licensing—takes between 4 and 7 weeks, depending on your business type and the speed of government approvals.

Initial Contact and Consultation:

Advice and Planning:
Next comes tailored advice: you receive a simple breakdown of your options—whether that’s a Thai Limited Company, BOI registration, or a Foreign Business License (FBL). We clarify the pros, cons, and best path forward for your business and personal needs. (Same day)

Your preferred names are checked and reserved with the Department of Business Development (DBD). This ensures your business name is unique and ready for registration. (2–3 days)
