In this article, we will guide you through the process of business registration, its benefits, and the necessary documents required.

Why Register a Business?

Registering a business offers several advantages, such as separating personal assets from business assets. This ensures that your personal wealth is protected in case your business faces financial or legal issues. Additionally, registration enhances your company’s credibility in the eyes of customers and business partners.


Types of Legal Entities

Legal entities can be categorized based on the Civil and Commercial Code and other relevant laws. The main types include


  • Limited Company: Requires at least two shareholders. Shareholders are only liable for the company’s debts up to the value of their shares.

  • Limited Partnership: Comprises general partners (fully liable) and limited partners (liable only up to their investment).

  • Registered Ordinary Partnership: All partners share unlimited liability for business debts.

  • Association: A group of individuals forming an entity for non-profit activities.

  • Foundation: An organization established to manage assets for specific purposes, such as education, religion, or public benefit.


Steps to Register a Business

The process of establishing a legal entity involves several steps, including:

  1. Choosing a Company Name – Ensure the chosen name is unique and not already in use.

  2. Registering the Memorandum of Association – Submit this document to the Department of Business Development (DBD).

  3. Share Subscription – Allow shareholders to subscribe for shares and schedule a general meeting.

  4. Holding the Incorporation Meeting – Approve the company’s establishment and appoint the board of directors.

  5. Appointing the Board of Directors – Assign responsibilities for managing the company.

  6. Paying the Registration Fee – Cover all necessary registration expenses.

  7. Receiving the Certificate of Incorporation – Obtain official registration documents from the DBD.การจดทะเบียน: รับใบสำคัญและหนังสือรับรองการจดทะเบียนจากกรมพัฒนาธุรกิจการค้า
