The accounts are a starting place. It's pretty easy to see if a business makes money by asking for secondary documents. It is, of course, possible to fake the whole thing, but if someone was to put that amount of effort in for multiple years and get it right they would be better off trading with a real business.

You make good points. To clarify, the point of the website is to put all of the information in one place. You then create listings on business for sale websites, linking to this page. I can assure you that if you do not have the most germane information ready for people to read you will be dealing with inquiry after inquiry from people who want to know more but have no intention of buying the business. The aim is not to get the website promoted to page 1 of google. Google ads, Facebook, etc can all be used to elicit a response and funnel people to the page with information on it. In this way your Facebook posts, google ads, etc do not have to have all the details. Instead they can attract attention from interested parties. I mentioned this because I have similar experience. One of the many mistakes I made in Thailand was when I was responsible for marketing a piece of land in Bangkok. One of the things I did was have a vinyl banner put up outside the property, with For Sale, Land SIze and Telephone/Line details. The phone went mental for about a week because a lot of people from the neighborhood called/messaged to see how much the land was being sold for because they wanted to gauge the value of their land. Now we put the price on vinyl signs and the phone doesn't melt!

It's a very good idea. Quite often businesses are sold to people from the local area. Put a link to the website on the banner otherwise you will be hammered with calls from the curious as to what you are selling and every juicy detail. Your banner has to be big enough to be seen by cars travelling at speed on the highway. Work out what size you need then work out the sign tax!

Make your own website with all of the details on it. Definitely put the asking price on the website, along with photos, location on Google maps, exactly what is being sold in terms of land, buildings and the business itself. Is a limited company included in the sale? What are the annual accounts like? If you are selling the business you will need to make the accounts available to qualified buyers. It doesn't have to be an expensive website. One of the more popular free websites would probably do, such as wix. Once you have done this list the business on as many of the free business for sale sites as you can. If possible, try leaving a link to your website. As an extra consider buying Google ads targeted at business for sale in Thailand. I saw a pub in Bangkok marketed on Google ads, and it sold. My best advice would be to include as much detail as you can, otherwise you will be called by people asking for the information. Also, make it very clear if you are accepting agents or not, and what commission you see willing to pay. If you say no agents, you will still get agents calling you. Unscrupulous agents will tell you they have a firm buyer, and ask what is the best price you can give. The agent will then try and sell the business as high as they can and find a way of keeping the difference.

RIP. A hard life for sure.

It looks like a nice breakfast for a fair price.

I'll referee.

Don't forget that there are offices in Bangkok that can do things through the post or Line app.

It depends, but 2-4 working days is normal. I've never heard of it taking 3 or 4 weeks. Possibly steer clear of that office. In the normal course of events it will take 2 days. Day 1 will be generating the translation, day 2 will be submission. Normally you would collect the document late on day 2 or on day 3. The problem the translators might have is that they can transliterate your name perfectly, take it to the MFA who will disagree with one character and the document has to be resubmitted, normally the next day, which would be day 3, adding 1 day to the process. If the district office asks for a certified copy of your passport then it's mandatory. Certain district offices vary slightly in their requirements.

No, it's more like Dropbox/Google drive.

Thanks for finding us! After 18 years we have decided to rename the Pub. @Crossy said he was buying the drinks.

The posting date and the transaction date are nearly always the same thing. The only time this will differ is if the merchant does not post the transaction immediately. All it means is that the transaction will not show up on your statement until it is posted. Most people would view this in their favour, although in reality with modern technology it rarely happens. The terms are more relevant to a past time when merchants used manual card impressioning machines, and it might have taken a few days for the transaction slip to be handed in to the bank and processed.
