Pepe' Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I thought someone might have thought of this before but I haven't seen any discussion. I was wondering if it is possible to organize /coordinate a business venture with limited investments fron forum members. There is strength in numbers. A common theme has been how to generate income in Thailand. I'm just fishing but with, number one, a good idea and clearly drawn business plan and contracts, who knows? Could we all make some money together. Even if it's not a lot to start. Escrow accounts, trustees could be established. There is definitely a core of members that in my opinion have some business and life experience that could prove to be fruitfull. There are those in LOS and the ones that want to be. Can be interesting chemistry. Am I dreaming? Your thoughts are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 You are probably right Pepe. Open a forum on the subject, and see where it takes us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe' Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 You are probably right Pepe. Open a forum on the subject, and see where it takes us Doc, I thought I just did open a forum? Should I rename it or what. My wife says it's so hard to make money in Thailand. Even working for the big hotels and Mecedes she and her friends were allways getting ripped off on commissions or whereever else their bosses could screw them. Anyway, again I'll try asking it a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash999 Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Your thoughts are appreciated. Advantages would be pooling experience and connections. Disadvantage would be conflicts and differences of opinion, and a dilution of the return on investment. I don't think it's necessarily difficult to make money here in Thailand- the basics of providing a quality product and securing customers still apply.

kwiz117 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Let me keep short as this thread seems to be .... Anyway, the best thing is to come out with a product that is hard for Thai's to copy. Reason is the normal operating cost of a business, operated by foreigners are much hire compared to a business managed by a thai. The cost of efficiencies will not matter unless you are talking of mass production. Otherwise, you will see your frontdoor guy selling your products 10-20% cheaper than your price.
