Your question , at least to me is not clear.

Are you inside or outside of Thailand ?

A multiple entry "B" visa is not likely obtainable from any country near to Thailand.

A single entry 90 day "B" visa might be obtainable with the correct documentation .

90 day reporting must be made by anyone staying more than 90 days in the Kingdom.

If you get an multiple non-B visa you will have to leave the kingdom every 90 days.

Every entry on a multiple non-B visa will give you only 90 days permission to stay in the kingdom.

You can get an extension of stay on your non-B visa if you qualify and then you will have to do the 90-day reporting at your immigrations office.

Unless you already have a company in the US or a Thai one to provide supporting documents you will not be able to get a non-b before traveling.

You should get a tourist visa (2 entry would be best) to allow enough time to set up the company, apply for a work permit and then go to a neighboring country to get a single entry B visa which is needed to have the work permit issued.

Since it will be a new company you will then need to get a multiple entry non-b after you have the work permit because the rules require one year of company tax records in order to get an extension of stay at immigration.
