How To Open A Sole Proprietorship?

[BartPattaya]

Hi guys and ladies,

I am a website developper who builds websites which target potential customers in Holland. In Holland, there is a national online banking system, which is supported by all banks and therefor it has became the standard for safe online payments. For connecting to that specific service I need a registered company, no matter where. I refuse to set it up in Holland, as I have cut all my ties with my home country.

All I basically need is an official registration of a company. After exploring the web I found that there are two good options: one is the LLC and one the Sole Proprietorship.

Because of the opening costs I decided to have my lady open a sole proprietorship which rents the software (the website) from me. If she run, i can simply end the contract and close shop

I need some serious advice on the procedure of opening a sole proprietorship. What documents are needed to open one, what are the requirements, what are the exact costs?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

ask your lady to register it with the Ministry of Commerce and obtain a tax card

A very similar topic was posted earlier this year on ThaiVisa under the following link: http://www.thaivisa....ship-questions/. It goes a long way in answering most but not all of your questions. If you post your remaining open questions to the Business Services and Information forum (http://www.thaivisa....es-information/) I am sure that Sunbelt Asia will give all the info you are looking for.

don't forget that you need a Work Permit for what you are doing!
