Starting a business in Thailand

[Bartman1369]

Does any body have or know how to find information about starting up my company in Thailand. Brief Background. I currently own my own company based in Hong Kong where my Thai girlfriend and I are the only employees. I am considering moving this company to Thailand to make the logistics much easier. Hence the reason for my question. I don't usually work in Thailand but tend to perform most of my engineering work in China or other Asian countries. Any information would be greatly appreciated. i.e costs, companies that can help etc. Many Thanks.

You should know up front that closing a business here is much, much more difficult than starting one. I have friend who started a business as he had an idea and supposedly a first customer. He has never sold anything, generated any income or got to the point where he hired any employees and he has just finished the closing procedure after 18 months. 

 

I guess if the future and the plan are long term it is OK. 

 

I can help you with a lawyer for starting. Send me a PM.
